Janaki Mandir
Janakpur's ornate Janaki temple is the major Sita pilgrimage landmark and a strong first stop in the town. Expect crowds at major religious festivals; dress and behave respectfully.
The pale multi-storey facade gives Janakpur a strong architectural landmark, while the courtyard shows that this is an active Sita pilgrimage site. A visit here helps orient the town's nearby temples and ponds. Take time for both the building and the worship around it, giving festival crowds and devotees the space they need.
