Janaki Mandir

Janaki Mandir, located in Janakpur, is Nepal's largest shrine dedicated to Goddess Sita. It was built on the site where Goddess Sita was born. The attraction is now a religiously significant monument and a heritage site, but it is still used by followers as a temple. The heavenly Janaki Temple is a must-see for everyone interested in learning more about the Ramayana narrative.

The Janaki Mandir, with its magnificent white exterior, is an example of Hindu-Koiri Nepali architecture. The three-story temple is made completely of stones and marbles, with Nepali flags, inscriptions, murals, magnificent lattice windows, and turrets adorning the 60 chambers inside. Devotees flock to the Janaki temple for auspicious dates and festivals such as Ram Navami, Vivah Panchami, Dashain, Deepavali, and Holi. Pilgrims flock from all across Nepal, Sri Lanka, and India to pay their respects to the Goddess, who is revered for her fearlessness, purity, selflessness, dedication, loyalty, and feminine attributes.
