Sitamarhi district, Administrative district in Tirhut division, India.
The Sitamarhi district spans across the northern region of Bihar state, containing three major subdivisions and numerous agricultural settlements near the Nepal border.
The district gained independent administrative status in 1972 when it separated from Muzaffarpur district, establishing its headquarters in the town of Dumra.
The district maintains Hindu traditions through annual ceremonies at Punaura Dham Sitamarhi, where a temple and rock sanctuary from the Mauryan period stand.
The district connects to major cities through National Highway 77 and the Sitamarhi Junction railway station, with Darbhanga Airport located 82 kilometers away.
Local farmers cultivate rice, wheat, and maize across the district's agricultural lands, while artisans preserve traditional crafts in small-scale industries.
