Janakpur package tour
Named after the legendary King Janak, Janakpur was the capital of the ancient
Indian Kingdom Mithila, the native country of goddess Sita, the wife of the
Hindu god Rama and the heroine of the great Hindu epic Ramayana. Today
Janakpur stands as the most cleanest and interesting place among all the
towns of Terai.
Janakpur has become a great piligrimage site for Hindus today. The most
sacred sites are the Janaki Mandir, dedicated to goddess Sita, the Ram Sita
bibaha(marriage) mandir, built over the spot where Ram and Sita were said to
be married, Ram Mandir, dedicated to god Ram and the holy pond Dhanush Sagar.
Hundreds of Indian devotees come here every year to pay their respect to the
goddess at this temple.
Besides the religious importance, Janakpur is also the center for the revival
of the ancient Mithila art and craft. As a tradition, Mithila women have
always been decorating the walls of their houses with paintings depicting
figures from Hindu mythology in abstract forms, sometimes resembling a
mandala.
