Nepal is a melting pot of many races and tribes. There are more than one hundred different types of races and castes in Nepal. It appears that “for the size of the country Nepal possesses a great variety of races in its population."1 The prehistory and the early history of Nepal are largely unknown. “The ancient history of the Nepaulians, like that of all other nations which affect to trace their origin beyond the date of authentic records, is clouded by mythological fables”2 The state of Magars cannot be different. Despite of several literary sources on Magars, the origin and history is replete with compounded speculations and inexplicit details. Information on Magars are speckled here and there. Some of these information require evidences, some are incomplete, some contradict each others, some are controversial, and quite often there are missing links in between the periods of history. This is so due to the dearth of substantial evidences, and accurate and chronological documents.
