Janakpur Dham Pilgrimage Tour – 3 Days / 2 Nights
Experience the divine aura of the Mithila kingdom with our Janakpur Dham pilgrimage tour from Gorakhpur. Known as the birthplace of Goddess Sita and the site of her marriage to Lord Rama, Janakpur is a vibrant center of culture, mythology, and deep-rooted spiritual traditions that span millennia.
The Magnificent Janaki Mandir
The crown jewel of the city is the Janaki Mandir, a stunning example of Hindu-Rajput architecture that rivals the great palaces of Rajasthan. Built in 1910 by Queen Vrisha Bhanu of Tikamgarh, this massive temple is intricately carved and brilliantly colored, especially during the flickering lamp light of evening aarti. Visit the Vivah Mandap, marking the spot where the divine wedding took place, and see the representation of the 108 ponds that once dotted this sacred city.
Explore Dhanushadham, located about 18km from the main city, where legend says a piece of the divine bow (Pinaka) broken by Lord Rama fell. The site is deeply revered and surrounded by a sacred forest, offering a tranquil escape from the bustling city streets. Devotees believe the bow segment continues to grow in the earth, and the sight of it is considered a major spiritual milestone.
Mithila Art & The Tirupati Advantage
Janakpur is the heart of Mithila culture. Discover the famous Mithila (Madhubani) paintings created by local women, reflecting their rich traditions and cosmic worldview. Our tour includes a visit to the Janakpur Women’s Development Center, where you can see artists at work and purchase authentic artwork.
