Janaki Mandir was constructed in the late 19th century by Queen Vrisha Bhanu of Tikamgarh, India, as a tribute to the legendary goddess Sita. According to the epic Ramayana, Janakpur was Sita’s birthplace, and it was here that she was found by King Janak while plowing the fields. The temple, therefore, holds immense significance in the hearts of Hindus as the sacred site where Sita was born and later married to Lord Ram.
