Sitamarhi in Treta Yuga In terms of Indian history books, Sitamarhi might bea divided part of Muzaffarpur district of Bihar which came into existence on11thDecember 1972. But the people, the land, and the civilization has its rootswell rooted in best Mythological book of all times...."Ramayana".

According to Ramayana, King Janak who was father of Goddess Sita ruled a kingdom of Janakpur which now lies in Nepal.King Janak was blessed with a wish from God Indra (Rain God)that if he ploughseven a barren field, it will become productive. Once southern part of hiskingdom came into grab of drought and farmers and their families were dying ofhunger. Then the King came to rescue of its people. He ploughed a barren fieldin a village called "Punaura - A village of modern Sitamarhi"of hiskingdom. While ploughing the field his oxen hit a pot. The pot had a baby girlin it. The baby was Goddess Sita. The King who did not had any baby, gave hisname to the baby. It is said and seen that Sitamarhi didn’t had any droughtsince then due to the grace of God Indra.

If you have guts to believe this mythological story (in this Kalyug era),then just try to believe one more fact.... Lord Ram would have traveled throughthe "Soil of Sitamarhi" to break the bow (eg: bow & arrow) andmarry Goddess Sita.

This happened 500 years ago .... In Sitamarhi the Land where King Janakfound Goddess Sita eloped and with time and got converted into jungle. But some500 years ago a Hindu ascetic, named Birbal Das came to know the site by divineinspiration where Sit was born. He came down from Ayodhya(Birth place of LordRama in UttarPradesh) and cleared the jungle. He found the images set up byRajaJanak, built temple over there and commenced the worship of Janaki or Sita.The modern day Janaki Mandir which is apparently about 100 years old came up atthe site which Birbal Das had discovered.

Sitamarhi ... in 21st Century Today the Sitamarhi town contains no relics ofarchaeological interest. Because whatever we said belonged to an era bestdescribed as Mythology of Hindu Religion. But as evident from Humancivilization development, Sitamarhi is very much there at least from the day modernday Historians started writing "Modern Indian History", which wasruled by Britishers and then Indian Democracy for last 60 years.

Today we are in an era where a technology becomes history within ayear....and counting this parameter Sitamarhi has registered and recordedhistory of 2 centuries.

Sitamrahi is counting on its son's to take it up to hights of glory !!
