Akin to the Tharus in many ways, the traditional strongholds of the Danuwars are the Banke and Bardia districts. The Danuwars belong to four clans such as loincloth wearer, janai or the sacred thread wearer, Rai and Adhikari. The loincloth-wearing Danuwars live between the Chure and Mahabharat Ranges while the thread wearing ones live in the Terai plains. Rai and Adhikari Danuwars prefer the riverbanks. In religious matters, Danuwars are closer to the Tharu and Dhimal ethnic groups. Farming is their major occupations.
