About Mata Janaki Temple,Janakpur

Located in Janakpur, Nepal, the Janaki Temple is a clear, artistic, and beautiful testament to love, devotion, and architectural mastery. This marble marvel, often called the “Naulakha Temple,” was built in 1911 by Queen Brisabhanu Kunwari of Tikamgarh. The temple is religiously important as it marks the exact spot where Lord Ram and Sita got married.


Being a Hindu temple, its unique blend of Mughal and local architecture is something you won’t find in many other places! The temple took 50 years to build and cost 9 lakh rupees back then (that’s where the name ‘Naulakha’ comes from – it means 9 Lakhs). Many Nepal Tour Packages include this must-visit spot and trust me, you’ll be amazed by its morning aarti when thousands of devotees gather to seek blessings.
