Kathmandu. In memory of the marriage of Sita and Ram on the day of Marg Top Shukla Panchami in the Treta Yuga, the marriage panchami festival is being celebrated today by worshiping Ram Sita all over the country.
The marriage festival of Lord Sita and Rama is being held today in Janakpurdham, the ancient capital of Mithila. As described by Goswami Tulsidas in the Ramayana, the people of Mithila celebrate this festival as a special festival, remembering the day of Janakandani Sita's wedding.
During the Treta Yuga, King Janaka of Mithila cut the Shiva bow for his daughter Sita's swayamvara into three pieces by Rama, the eldest son of Dasharatha, king of Ayodhya. The marriage of Rama and Sita was consummated on the day of Margashirsha Shukla Panchami after breaking the bow of Shiva. According to the Ramayana, 56 crore deities are believed to be present in the Swayamvar held on the stage of Janakpurdham. The people of Mithila, who consider Sita as their daughter and sister, participate joyfully in the festival from the arrival of the people to the wedding, believing that the participation of the goddess is not physical but invisible.
During the celebration of the festival, according to the culture of Mithila, Matkor, Tilakotsava, Swayamvar and marriage rituals are performed. According to the legend, the idol of Lord Rama is carried from the Ram temple along with the tableau and the tableau to the theater on a specially made dola throne. Similarly, from the Janaki temple, Sita is carried to the arena on a specially equipped dola.
