Answers
Explanation:
Located in the time-honoured city of Janakpur, Janaki Mandir also known as Ram Janaki Temple is the epitome of ancient craftsmanship. Hailed as the architectural marvel, this Hindu temple is the paramount tourist destination of the city. With the total area covering 4,860 sq. feet, the three-storied temple rises 50m high above the ground and accommodates 60 rooms, which are all adorned with coloured glass, elegant paintings and spectacular engravings, alongside sublime lattice windows, arches, domes and turrets; all dating back to 11th and 12th Century AD. The entire structure flaunts classic blend of classical and neo-classical design, primarily the lavish baroque Mughal style with stone and marble as its chief building material.
Based on the Vedic literature, it is believed that Janakpur is the birthplace of Goddess Sita, consort of Lord Rama and a key character in Ramayana that is estimated to be 7th- to 3rd centuries BCE. According to Ramayana, Janakpur was the realms of mighty King Janak, who discovered the infant Sita aka Janaki in the groove of a ploughed farmland. Later, Sita was later married to Lord Rama of Ayodhya. The current temple devoted to Goddess Sita stands on the exact place where a golden statue of the very deity was found in 1657 AD. The holy spot is also believed to be the place where this Hindu deity once lived during her time on Earth. In 1910 A.D., Vrisha Bhanu Devi, Queen of the Indian state of Tikamgarhm ordered the construction of the temple that we see today that was completed at the total cost of Rupees Nine Lakhs or Nine Hundred Thousand. This is the reason why the temple is well-renowned as the ‘Naulakha Mandir’, translated into the temple build from Nine Lakh rupees.
