In falls within the boundaries of the Ghaziabad Lok Sabha constituency, Meerut and Muzaffarnagar for electoral purposes. Satha translates as group of sixty and chaurasi as group of eighty-four. These numbers may have had a significant socio-political context in the medieval period as a definition of scope for territorial and lineal boundaries.
