Historical and Religious site: Dhanushadham

Dhanushadham is a historical and religious site, its reference dating back to the great Hindu epic Ramayana. It is believed to be the place where fell broken remains of the divine shiva bow that Ram broke to obtain Sita’s hand for marriage. A fossilized fragment of the broken piece is still believed to be seen and is worshipped by devotees.
Nearby is Janakpur, the capital of ancient Mithila culture, and famous as birthplace of Sita believed to be incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi of the Hindu mythology. It is also believed to be the place where lord Ram and Sita met for the first time, fell in love and were married to each other. A temple in janakpurdham known as Janaki Temple dedicated to Sita, is the prime attraction of this region
