Janakpuri
Details
Janakpuri is best know for Janaki Mandir which is the biggest temple in Nepal located in Janakpur. It is the birthplace of goddess Sita & place of her marriage with lord Ram. The city is named after King Janak of the Mithila kingdom. He found the baby Sita in a furrow of a field and raised her as his daughter. When Sita (also called Janaki) was about sixteen, the king announced that she could be married by whoever was able to string the divine bow of Shiva. Though many royal suitors tried, only Lord Rama, the bof Ayodhya, was successful. And not only did he string the bow, he also snapped it in two. Thus, Lord Rama won the hand of Sita.
