Janaki Temple, also known as the Naulakha Mandir, is a historical and architectural masterpiece located in the heart of Janakpur, Nepal. Constructed in 1910 AD by Queen Brisabhanu Kunwari of Tikamgarh, it stands as a symbol of devotion to the Hindu goddess Sita, also known as Janaki, who is believed to have been born in this region. The temple is renowned for its magnificent blend of Mughal and Koiri architectural styles, marked by its high walls, intricate carvings, and beautiful marbles. Covering an area of 4,860 sq. feet, the grand structure is adorned with turrets, pavilions, and domes. Inside, the primary sanctum houses the idols of Lord Ram and Goddess Sita. The temple is not only a place of spiritual importance but also serves as a vital part of the vibrant culture and history of Janakpur. The site attracts pilgrims and tourists, especially during the vivacious festivals like Vivah Panchami, the marriage celebration of Sita and Ram, and Ram Navami, the birthday of Lord Ram.
