Last year I visited Janakpur on the occasion of Ram Navami. I went there with my father and mother. We caught a bus from Biratnagar and reached Janakpur.

When we reached Janakpur it was about 9 AM. We met my mother’s friend. She lives there. She took us to her home. After keeping our bags there, we had some food. There are many sacred ponds in Janakpur. That day there were full of pilgrims. We went to Gangaasagar. There were large crowds there. Many people were bathing and we start to have a bath as well. After the bath we went to the temple of Ram. There were rows of sellers of worship materials. At the temple we bought flowers and went inside. It was filled with men, women and children. I could not see the images in the temple because the crowd was very big. However, I offered holy water and flowers from far. Then we went to Janaki temple. It was similarly crowded. We had to make our way with difficulty.
After worshipping, we went to see the fair. The Janaki fair does not hold in one place. It is scattered. There were rows of shops and stalls. Almost all kinds of things were there. Fancy product like clothes, shoes, etc. attracted most women. Different types of game lured boys and girls. Temporary hotels were full of people. There were volunteer camps to help the pilgrims. They found out the missing children. Police were also there. They caught the thief and look after the people around there. We saw the fair from one corner to another. When we got hungry we returned to our host and had a meal. Next day we went back home.
...Thank You...
