Sahasralinga is a village development committee in Dadeldhura District in the Mahakali Zone of western Nepal. At the time of the 1991 Nepal census it had a population of 3412 people living in 657 individual households.[1]

Sahasra[2]is the correct prefix that means "a thousand", not SahasTra. However, it is invariably misspelled as the latter. Notice how the same prefix is spelled when referring to the crown chakra: "Sahasrara Chakra"[3] or when it occurs in family names (example: Sahasrabuddhe[4]) without a T. Also see Sahasralinga[5]. The confusion arises because the hindi letter "Sa" (स) merges with "ra" (र) and looks like "tra".
