Sita Temple

Location

The Sita Temple, dedicated to Goddess Sita, was constructed around 100 years ago. The stone statues of Lord Ram, Goddess Sita and Lord Lakshman are enshrined in the temple. A spring located close to this temple is believed to be the place where Goddess Sita was found in a furrow. It is believed that Birbal Das, a Hindu ascetic, visited the site and discovered the temple. The city has its footing on Hindu Mythology which teaches that goddess Sita devi was obtained to King Janaka while he was ploughing the fields. After Sita’s Marriage with lord Ram, The king had constructed a tank at the same spot where the child had appeared. He then put the stone figures of Ram, Sita and Lakshman to blotch the spot. This tank is now known as Janaki Kund and it situates south of the present temple.
