The area of Sitamarhi was cut out of Muzaffarpur locale on eleventh December 1972. It is arranged in the northern piece of Bihar. Its headquarter is situated at Dumra, five kilometers south of Sitamarhi. The area headquarter was moved here after the town of Sitamarhi was crushed in one of the most exceedingly awful ever seismic tremor in January 1934. Sitamarhi is a hallowed spot in Hindu folklore. It's history returns to Treta Yug. Sita, the spouse of Lord Rama sprang to life out of an earthern pot, when Raja Janak was furrowing the field some place close Sitamarhi to put forth for Lord Indra for downpour. It is said that Raja Janak uncovered a tank at where Sita developed and after her marriage set up the stone figures of Rama, Sita and Lakshman to stamp the site. This tank is known as Janaki-kund and is south of the Janaki Mandir. In course of time, the land slipped by into a wilderness until around 500 years prior, when a Hindu austere, named Birbal Das came to realize the site by perfect motivation where Sita was conceived. He descended from Ayodhya and cleared the wilderness. He found the pictures set up by Raja Janak, assembled sanctuary over yonder and started the love of Janaki or Sita. The Janaki Mandir is clearly present day and is around 100 years of age as it were. The town anyway contains no relics of archeological intrigue.
