Ahairi
- Sitarama Mandir
Mithila and its environs are soaked with Sita
Rama mahima and its fragrance spread to the
four quarters of India; and it can be said without
least doubt of contradiction to the nooks and
corners of the world. The sacrosanct place from
where Sita is said to have emerged is called
Sitamarhi. To perpetuate its timeless glory,
many temples of worship sprang up then, and
now in this area. All exuding the splendour of
Hinduism. Among them, the holy temple built in
the tiny village of Ahairi, commemorate s the
event of Ahalya s sapavimochan; this pretty
temple was built by Maharaja Chatrasingh
Bahadur of Darbhanga. The majestic looking
image of Sri Rama was installed and regular
prayer services were introduced at his behest.
In addition, an yearly Mela is being held in the
month of Chaitra on Sri Ramanavami day. 1t
attracts lakhs of people and lasts for several
days, when many special types of worship is
made. People's active participation raises its
glory to enviable height. Due to its legendary
significance, pilgrims normally visit this
invariably during their yatra to these parts.
It is in Chaira village of Darbhanga district of
Bengal, connected by four wheelers.
