Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday attended the symbolic wedding of Lord Ram with Sita and offered prayers at the famous Janaki temple in Nepal’s historic Janakpur city.

Adityanath, who arrived in Janakpur as head of the Indian delegation to participate in ‘Vivah Panchami’ celebrations, was welcomed by Chief Minister of Province 2 Mohammad Lalbabu Raut Gaddi at the airport.

Janakpur is known as the birth place of Sita. A massive Janaki temple was built in memory of Sita in 1910. The three-storied structure made entirely of stone and marble is 50-metre high and spread over 4,860 sq feet.

Adityanath went straight to the Janaki temple from the airport.

He offered prayers and circumambulated the temple.

Janakpur city was decorated with colourful lights, paper flags and banners. Flowers were showered from helicopter while Adityanath was offering prayer at the temple.

In the afternoon, he participated in Ram-Sita ‘Swayamvar’ and wedding ceremony at famous Rangabhoomi in Barah Bigha ground.
