The Sahai bush frog (Raorchestes sahai) is a frog. It lives in India.[2][3][1]

People have seen this frog in a forest where the trees grew close together, near the Noa Dihing River. The frog was inside a hole in a tree that had water in it. People have seen this frog sitting on grass in a swamp. People have seen this frog between 600 and 1200 meters above sea level.[1]

Scientists think this frog hatches out of its egg as a small frog, like other frogs in Raorchestes do.[1]

Scientists think this might be the same frog as R. parvulus but they are not sure.[1]
