Sirdhwaj Janak was the King of Videha of which Mithila was the capital in the times of the great epic Ramayana. Mithila is now the Janakpur city of Dhanusa district in Nepal. A great philosopher and a learned man, Janak was a king of distinction who took his state to the height of development and enlightenment. Sita, the ideal woman and consort of Rama was the King Janak’s daughter. Rama being the son of Dasaratha, the King of Kosala, his marriage had led to closer ties between these two neighbouring states.
