108 feet height towering magnificent sculpture of Shri Sita Nandan Hanumanji, which is installed on an artificial rock of 20 feet at holy temple Sita Samahit Sthal (Sitamarhi), situated almost midway between ALLAHABAD and VARANASI just beside the National Highway No. 2 on the banks of River Ganges belongs to BHADOHI district in the Indian state of UTTAR PRADESH. Under this hillock there is a cave having small temple of Hanumanji.
The two cities of religious importance Jangiganj and Bhiti are situated on the GT Road also known as Sher Shah Suri Marg on NH-2 from where roads lead to Sitamarhi. It is 13 Kms from the Jangiganj and just 7 Kms from the Bhiti. One can get bus or taxi from Gopiganj, an important town between Allahabad and Varanasi.
Sita Samahit Sthal is a historical place of immense reverence and is being visited by thousands of pilgrims’ everyday with deep faith and devotion.
Sitamarhi (or Sitamadhi) carries deep religious values and significance hence it is considered as a holy Teerth. It is one of the five ‘Teerths’ (holy places) in Poorvanchal which are Prayagraj, Sitamarhi, Sarnath, Vindhyavasini & Kashiraj.
Prayagraj is also called "Teerthraj Prayag" and is famous for its Triveni Sangam of three holy rivers- two physical rivers Ganges & Yamuna, and the invisible or mythical Saraswati River (A bath here is said to flush away all of one's sins and free one from the cycle of rebirth and will clear the way to heaven). Prayagraj is a place of religious importance and the site for historic Kumbh Mela held every 12 years.
Maharishi Valmiki (also called Adi Kavi, writer of Sanskrit Ramayan in Slokas) Ashram is also located on the banks of River Ganges near to this sacred spot.
At this place, one feels vibrations of peace & bliss along with the feeling that there exist the blessings of Maa Sita.
It is said that this temple is the place, where Devi Sita went into the lap of Mother Earth forever when she willed it while she was living at Maharshi Valmiki Ashram in the forest of Sitamarhi, when Bhagwan Shri Ram came to Devi Sita (her wife) to ask her to come with him.
According to Ramayan story when Bhagwan Shri Ram returned from the grand victory on Ravan (the powerful King of Lanka who abducted Devi Sita) and after becoming the King of Ayodhya, a big Ashwamegha Yajna was held by Lord Shri Ram and the white horse of that grand Yajna was released from Ayodhya. The white horse was to move in any direction or in any kingdom and the king of that kingdom should have to declare Ayodhya’s King Ram as his emperor and will pay duty every year.
When the white horse was wandering in the jungle of now Baripur village of Bhadohi district, the two sons of Mata Sita captured the Yajna horse according to the declaration that was tagged on the forehead of the white horse. All the great warriors of Lord Shri Ram Including Lakshman, Bharat, Satrughn, Sugreev, Nal-Neel were defeated in the fierce battle between the twins Luv & Kush. The most powerful Hanumanji was also tied by them.
At last the Great Maharaja of Ayodhya Shri Ram had come to that place to fight the two children. No one knew that both boys are the prince of Ayodhya and the sons of King Ram. When Raja Ram came to the battlefield, all the holy souls of the three worlds (Triloka) comes to see the rare scene and Bhagwati Sita also comes to Bhagwan Shri Ram and said with folded palm that she served with her all efforts & love now it is time to end this human life (not human life because they are God and Goddess). After that Devi Sita asked her Mother Earth to take her into her lap forever. She left behind her two sons Luv & Kush whom Lord Shri Ram took to the Great Ayodhya Empire.
