A storied shrine at the heart of Janakpur
Janaki Mandir is a landmark shrine in Janakpurdham, Nepal, dedicated to Sita and also known as Nau Lakha Mandir. The Nepal Tourism Board describes it as completed in 1910 under Queen Vrisha Bhanu; another published account gives the broader construction period 1894–1911. Its design brings together Koiri-Hindu, Mughal and Rajput traditions. This interactive model is an illustrative render: its dome accents, flags and presentation are artistic additions, not a measured restoration.
