Later life
[edit]According to the Mahanth of the Janaki Mandir in Janakpur, the queen Vrishbhanu Kunwari was initially childless. Then, she came to Janakpur for worship and darshan of Goddess Sita wishing a child, in the mid 19th century. It is said that her wish was fulfilled after the darshan of Goddess Sita. After the fulfillment of the wish, the queen Vrishbhanu Kunwari built the magnificent temple of Goddess Sita in the city of Janakpur in the Mithila region of the Himalayan nation Nepal. The temple was built at a cost of nine lakh.[6] The temple is known Janaki Mandir or Naulakha Mandir. According to Hindu adherents, the city of Janakpur in Nepal is believed to be the location of King Siradhwaja Janaka's court.[4]
