Things to see and do Janakpur

The Janaki Temple is a gigantic white marble building, dedicated to Sita and overloaded with arabesques, located in the city centre. Pilgrims flock here in their thousands on the anniversary of Sita and Rama's marriage in November-December or on the full moon of April during Rama's anniversary celebration. There is a small museum associated with the temple, where you can find an evocation of the life of Sita and Rama. Next to the Janaki Mandir is the Ram Sita Bibaha Mandap, a pagoda-shaped temple built on the site of Sita and Rama's wedding.
