how the name of the district came to be Bajura, but according to old sayings, earlier this district was not an independent entity of its own, but this area was then Sinja and now Jumla district . Therefore, although the central government was conducted from Jumla , the representatives of the ruler used to live in the present Bajura district by forming a subsidiary palace. The said subsidiary palace was called "Kot". According to the order of the king of Sizanderbar at that time, the name of Vaz Chara should be caught from this Bajura palace and sent there. Vaz was caught in traps. Bhalebajan was called Shahi Vaz and Pothi Vaz was called Jhurra Vaz. Once, as per the order of the king to send a waz to his palace, when the trap was set, the royal waz did not ring in the trap. If Shahiwaz could not be trapped, Jhurrawaz was sent to the court of the king with the news that only Jhurrawaz was caught. As the king wanted Shahiwaz but got Jhurrawaz, the name of this place was changed to Bajhurrakot, the name of Pothiwaz, "Bhurrawaz". The same Bajurrakot later became Bajurikot through corruption and the legend of Bajura is found in the name of Bajurikot. According to another story, it is also said that the name of Bajura district came from the name of the river called "Bajugard" in this place. No written evidence has been found as to how the name of the district came to be Bajura, but according to old sayings, earlier this district was not an independent entity of its own, but this area was then Sinja and now Jumla district . No written evidence has been found as to how the name of the district came to be Bajura, but according to old sayings, earlier this district was not an independent entity of its own, but this area was then Sinja and now Jumla district .
