Bibahapanchami is one of the very greatest festivals of the Hindus. It falls on the fifth day of the Marga bright fortnight (DEC.). Lord Ram and Sita mother were wedded on this day in the silver age. Lord Ram was the son of Ayodhaya’s king Dasharath and Sita was the daughter of Mithila’s king Janak. King Janak had a very strong, heavy and powerful how presented him by Lord Shiva. No one in the world had the capacity to lift it. He used to worship it everyday keeping it in his worshipping room. One  day, he saw his daughter sita lifted that Bow very easily while she was cleaning her father’s worshiping room. King Janak became very much surprised to look his daughter’s divinely strength; so he decided to arrange his daughter’s wedding with that powerful man only who could lift and break the heavy divine bow in future.

Finally the turn arrived there to lift the bow to Lord Ram who was the prince of Ayodhaya; after his effort; he then easily lifted the bow and dismantled it into many pieces; then the crowd there became very much surprised to look his valor and strength. Then King Janak in Mithila arranged the grand happy and cheerful wedding ceremony there at that time in the silver age. Lord Ram was not an ordinary person; he was the incarnation of the God; and he then was incarnated on the earth to kill the tyrannical demon Rawan; who was frightening and annoying to all the mankind. So because of being the incarnated lord he was happened to be succeeded in the incredible competition.

This is the same wedding ceremony, which takes place there in the pious Janakpur pilgrimage since many thousand years back. The wedding ceremony takes place at Barabigha Maidan there in Janakpur; and the mud to make the wedding podium has been brought there from the Ganasagar that is little bit far away from the city. The religious chariot procession travels to Ganga Sagar to take the mud with the caravan of the devotees and the traditional musical band; previously five day before the wedding and it arrives a day before the ceremony there. Many devotees waiting there welcome the chariot coteries with a high honor of flowers there on that day. Then the procession ends reaching at Barabiga Maidan.

Now on the next day, the wedding ceremony starts. The marriage cliques from lord Ram’s side proceed out from Ram Temple with musical band, horse ridings and motorcades. Lord Ram’s idol also remains there on a palanquin. The marriage assembleages from mother sita’s side also proceeds out from Janaki temple with grandly decorated motorcades and musical bands. Mother sita’s idol also remains there in the coterie on a palanquin. Both of these wedding factions take round the city and finally enter in the Barabigha Maidan where the marriage pulpit has been arranged. The priests garland between Ram and Sita takes place there; then the wedding ceremony concludes there. Lord Ram’s and sita’s idol are also carried out there in the palanquin; and the devotees distribute beetle leaves and sweets to the onlookers for free of cost there on this day for virtue.

Thousands of spectators assemble including the foreigners as well there on this day to look the phenomenon of this fair. After that the wedding clique of Ram Temple enters in the Janaki Temple and returns from there to Ram Temple by worshipping the Ram and Sita’s idol installed there inside the Janaki Temple. There is a special committee who arranges these managements every year to celebrate this significant festival there.

Mother sita has a very high honour in the Hindu religion for their imitable career, she was the true devotee of her husband lord Ram who used to know honestly her husband’s each and every happiness and woes. She used to serve lord Ram always without disobeying his commands; once while lord Ram was on his fourteen years’ exiled forests life; the lord said her to stay at house instead of visiting with him because he said,” she will get a lot of trouble in the forest”. But mother sita told that she will not stay at home at any cost because a wife’s duty is always to serve her husband though there are any unbearable difficulties in her life; so finally she decided to go along with lord Ram. Not only are these, all of her virtuous benevolences explained in the Holy Ramayan Scriptures. Because of her true and fair career every Hindu woman and inspired by her teachings; so she has been declared also the national glory of Nepal.
