Located in North of Bihar and bordering Nepal Sitamarhi is part of historical Mithila region. Known as birth place of Sita, queen of Ayodhya Kingdom and wife of Lord Rama. The history of Sitamarhi dates back to about 500 years ago, when a person named Birbal Das got a divine inspiration about Sita being born at this place. He later cleared whole jungle and established a place of worship what today is known as Punara Dham Mandir. The area is mostly known for its temple and is a holy site for Hindu religion. Some famous temples in the region are New Janaki Temple, Haleshwar Asthan, Panth Pakar and Pupri.
