Katahariya (Maithili: कतहरिया) is a municipality in Rautahat District in the Narayani Zone of south-eastern Nepal. Before September 2017, Katahariya was one of the Village Development Committees with 8 wards. At the time of the 1991 Nepal census, it had a population of 4,619 people living in 835 individual households. Katahariya is famous for its vegetables and cattle market. It has a well-maintained Farmers' market (vegetable) and Cattle (domestic-animal) market. Katahariya is a fast-growing VDC, with the main occupations of local people being business and farming.
