01 - THE PLACE

About Ram Mandir

Ram Mandir is one of the oldest temples in Janakpurdham, located in the heart of the old city. Dedicated to Lord Rama, this temple holds immense significance as it represents the divine groom in the Ramayana narrative that defines Janakpur. The temple architecture reflects traditional North Indian temple style with a distinctive shikhara (spire). The sanctum houses beautiful idols of Rama, Sita, Lakshman, and Hanuman. The temple courtyard is a gathering place for locals and pilgrims alike, especially during evening aarti. The surrounding lanes of the old city are filled with traditional Mithila houses, small shops selling religious items, and the aroma of local street food, offering an authentic cultural experience.
