Janakpur is an important place of pilgrimage for Hindus and also holds historical significance. It is the birthplace of Goddess Sita and the place where she got married to Lord Ram.
This ancient city of Mithila prevails of Mithila art and culture. We believe Dhanushadham- another important religious site where the broken remains of Lord Shiva’s bow which Rama broke to win Sita’s hand in marriage are fossilized and preserved.
Besides many pagodas, shopping squares and over one hundred pounds, Janakpur is an intriguing place that offers a wide selection of Mithila handcrafts. It is also home for Nepal’s only railhead-a tourist attraction for steam locomotive enthusiasts.
