Intro
About Sitamarhi
Sitamrhi, nestled in the heart of Bihar’s Mithila region, is a land where ancient legends breathe through modern life. Its primary claim to fame is spiritual: it is revered as the birthplace of Goddess Sita. According to the Ramayana, King Janaka discovered the infant Sita in a golden pitcher while plowing the earth at Punaura Dham, which remains the district's most sacred pilgrimage site. Beyond its religious roots, Sitamrhi is a cultural powerhouse. It is a bastion of Maithili heritage, where the sweet cadences of the Maithili language and the intricate strokes of Madhubani art are part of the daily fabric. The city truly comes alive during Vivah Panchami and Ram Navami, attracting devotees from across the globe to the majestic Janaki Mandir.
