Rishi Dhamala was born in Dhading's Jyamrung village as Durga Prasad Dhamala. He was given a new name, i.e. Rishi, at an early age by a popular village leader in his village who happened to share the same name, Durga Prasad. Rishi said in an interview that since Durga Prasad's ego was hurt by the fact that a not-so-significant boy in the village had the same name as of his, he was indirectly forced to adopt a new name.Rishi completed primary education from Sankhadevi Primary School of his village and left his education to travel to Kathmandu out of curiosity. Though generally known as an uneducated journalist, Rishi has said in interviews that he has passed the SLC exams in 1992 from Janaprabhat Secondary School and an Intermediate in Arts (IA) degree in 1995 from People's Campus Paknajol, Kathmandu. In an interview with the Kathmandu Today, Rishi said that he wants to complete an MA in Political Science some day.
