Etymology
Baad (बाड) comes from Sanskrit वाट (vāṭa), meaning “fence, palisade, hedge.” “Bhanjyang” means the path between two hills or a mountain pass for pedestrians. The name of this place comes from this geographical feature.
Bhanjyang (भञ्ज्याङ) comes from the Sanskrit compound भङ्ग्याङ्ग (bhangyaanga) or a related root, meaning “division” or “pass” between two elevations.[2]
