Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath arrived in Nepal's historic town of Janakpur on Wednesday to attend the symbolic wedding of Lord Ram.
Acording to the Ramayana, Lord Rama of Ayodhya had married Sita in Janakpur.
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.
"Hon'ble CM of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath arrived Janakpur, Nepal to participate in celebrations of 'Shri Ram-Janaki Vivah - Vivah Panchami' festival. He was welcomed by Hon'ble CM Province 2 and Ambassador Shri M.S. Puri," External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Raveeshh Kumar tweeted.
In May, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Janakpur where he inaugurated a bus service between Ayodhya and Jankpur and announced Rs 100 crore aid to the Province No 2.
