Vivah Mandap
विवाह मण्डप
A pagoda-style hall beside Janaki Temple that commemorates the wedding of Ram and Sita. Inside, statues depict the wedding scene, and it is busiest during the wedding festival.
Vivah Mandap stands in the garden on the north side of Janaki Temple. Tradition holds that it is where Ram and Sita were married. Inside the Nepali pagoda-roofed hall, statues depict the wedding scene, and small pavilions around it show each stage of the ceremony.
Each year on the ninth month of the Hindu calendar (November–December), during Vivah Panchami, pilgrims from India and Nepal flock to watch a grand reenactment of the wedding procession.
A small entrance fee applies. You can visit it together with Janaki Temple.
