Sitamarhi Map - Summary
Sitamarhi is the headquarters of the Sitamarhi district in the Tirhut Division. According to Hindu legends, the city was named in honour of Sita, the wife of Rama, who was born in Sitamarhi. In 1875, a subdivision for Sitamarhi was created within the Muzaffarpur district.
Sitamarhi is a sacred place in Hindu mythology. Its history goes back to Treta Yug. Sita, the wife of Lord Rama, sprang to life out of an earthen pot when Raja Janak was ploughing a field somewhere near Sitamarhi to impress upon Lord Indra for rain. It is said that Raja Janak excavated a tank at the place where Sita emerged and, after her marriage, set up the stone figures of Rama, Sit, and Lakshman to mark the site. This tank is known as Janaki-kund and is south of the Janaki Mandir.
