Temple Details

The Sita Samahit incident in Valmiki Ramayana is an important chapter in the life of Maa Sita. After conquering Ravana, Sita had to undergo Agni Pariksha, the humiliation of which saddened her and she went to the ashram of Sage Valmiki. There she gave birth to twin sons named Luv and Kush.

After the passage of time, Luv and Kush reached Ayodhya and introduced themselves to Lord Rama as his sons. Rama did not believe, then Sage Valmiki narrated the Ramayana and made him realize the truth. Sita entered Ayodhya and met Rama.

But, some people doubted Sita's character. Distressed by this insult, Sita prayed to Maa Earth and urged her to give proof of her purity. Maa Earth appeared and Sita was absorbed in her lap.

The Sita Samahit incident is a symbol of sacrifice, patience and purity. Maa Sita showed patience and sacrifice even after facing many insults in life. She followed the path of truth and religion in life, no matter how much suffering she had to endure.
