Ram Mandir
राम मन्दिर
One of the oldest temples in Janakpur, with a Nepali pagoda-style structure. It is the city's main ritual center during Ram Navami.
Ram Mandir was built at the end of the 18th century by the Gorkha general Amar Singh Thapa. It is one of the oldest surviving temples in Janakpur. It has the multi-tiered pagoda roof common in the Kathmandu Valley, which stands out in a city dominated by white Mughal-style architecture. The courtyard in front of the temple is the main ritual center for Ram Navami and Dashain.
Entry is free. It is about a 5-minute walk from Janaki Temple, and Dhanush Sagar and Ganga Sagar are right next door.
