ga bra has fourteen names in general, but here only three are mentioned, ga bra, stag tsher and bri ha ti. Out of the two varieties of kanda ka ri, kanda ka ri dkar-po and kanda ka ri smug po, the latter is called bri ha ti or stag tsher. Apart from this, there is no description found for ga bra. However, the growth pattern of ga bra is similar to that of Kanda kari (Dawa 1999).
