Sitamarhi district

Sitamarhi district is located in northern Bihar state near the Nepal border and is organized into several administrative subdivisions. Agricultural land and rural settlements define the landscape throughout the region.

The district became an independent administrative entity in 1972 after separating from Muzaffarpur district. This administrative reorganization gave the region its own local governance structure.

The district holds spiritual significance through sacred sites where pilgrims gather for religious observances throughout the year. These places remain central to how local communities practice and express their faith.

National Highway 77 connects the district to larger cities for road travel throughout the region. Sitamarhi Junction railway station provides train connections, while the nearest airport is located roughly 80 kilometers away.

Ancient temple and sanctuary complexes were constructed during the Mauryan period and remain visible in the district today. These archaeological remains demonstrate the spiritual importance of the area spanning thousands of years.
