About Janakpur & Ram Janaki Mandir

Janakpur, located in the Terai plains of southern Nepal, is one of the most sacred cities in Hinduism. It is the birthplace of Goddess Sita (Janaki) and the site of her legendary Swayamvar where Lord Ram broke the divine bow and won her hand in marriage.

The Temple

The Ram Janaki Mandir (also known as Janaki Mandir or Naulakha Mandir) was built in 1910 by Queen Vrisha Bhanu of Tikamgarh, India. The stunning white marble and sandstone structure features:

  • 60 beautifully decorated rooms
  • Rajput and Mughal architectural fusion
  • Intricate lattice work and painted ceilings
  • Sacred courtyard where the wedding is performed

How to Reach Janakpur

From Kathmandu: 30-minute domestic flight or 8-hour drive via Narayangadh highway.

From India: Nearest Indian border town is Sitamarhi/Madhubani (Bihar). Cross at Bhitthamore/Jaleshwar border and drive 30 minutes to Janakpur. Indian citizens do NOT need a visa.

Best Time for Wedding

The best months for a destination wedding at Janakpur are October to March when the weather is pleasant (15-25 degrees C). The most auspicious dates can be determined by our Pandit Ji based on your horoscope.

Major festivals like Vivah Panchami (November/December) — the day Ram and Sita's wedding is celebrated — is an especially divine time to get married here.

Getting married at Janaki Mandir on Vivah Panchami is believed to bring the same blessings that Ram and Sita received from the gods.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Indian citizens need a visa?

No! Indian nationals can enter Nepal freely with just a valid passport, Voter ID, or Aadhaar Card. No visa required.

Can we bring our own Pandit?

Yes, absolutely. You can bring your own family priest or use our experienced local Pandit who performs the ceremony in Hindi, Sanskrit, and Maithili.

How many guests can attend?

The temple courtyard can accommodate up to 100-150 guests. For larger celebrations, we arrange additional outdoor venues near the temple. Our packages include accommodation for 20-50 guests depending on the tier.

The temple ceremony is a religious/traditional ceremony. For legal registration, we assist with documentation at the local government office in Nepal. For Indian couples, you can register the marriage in India after returning with the temple certificate.
