Janakpur - Ram Sita Bibaha Mandir

The Nepalese-style pagoda of the Ram Sita Bibaha Temple makes an interesting contrast with the domed Janaki Mandir. It was built to celebrate the mythical wedding of Rama and Sita, life-size statues of whom, together with Rama's half-brothers (they also took local princesses for their brides) can be glimpsed through the glass windows. On the anniversary of the wedding the figures are adorned with gaudy make-up and magnificent clothes.
