Rahakotte

Rahakotte is a rural locality in the valley district of Veridia, a fictional country. It lies along the Kiri River, about 40 kilometers north of the provincial capital. The community centers on farming, crafts, and local markets.

The name Rahakotte comes from Veridian words raha (river) and kote (settlement or fortress), reflecting a historical riverside enclosure near the village center.

The landscape comprises terraced hills and a riverplain. The population is about 5,800, with Veridian as the majority language and a mix of others. The climate is subtropical with a monsoon season.

The settlement traces to early centuries and grew around irrigation features. A fortified enclosure by the river gave the place its name. In the 20th century Rahakotte expanded with road links and agricultural development programs.

The economy relies on rice, maize, vegetables, and small crafts. A micro-hydro plant and solar panels provide electricity. A paved regional road connects Rahakotte to nearby towns, with regular bus service to the district capital.

Education includes two primary schools and a shared secondary campus. An annual harvest festival showcases crafts, music, and local cuisine, drawing visitors from nearby communities.
