The birthplace of Sita is disputed.Janakpur of Mithila in Eastern-Madhesh Plain of Southern Nepal and North-East Bihar and Sitamarhi,Bihar, India near the Nepalese border are described as Sita's birthplace. Be that as it may, let us see about Sitamarhi, Bihar being referred to as the birth place of Sita. I shall be examining about these places in the forthcoming posts.

This can be resolved only if all the Vedas were grasped at the same time.. However there is reference to Ramayana and Rama in the Rig Veda. There is a Rama Rahasya Upanishad in the Vedas. Please read my post on this. There is also a verse in the Rig Veda on the name Rama.
Lord Ram, as ordained by his father Dasaratha, at the behest of Janaka, Father of Seetha, takes the Shiva Dhanus playfully in his hands, which as a child Seehta too lifted playfully when she was a child, strings it and it breaks.
Normally we understand that Lord rama broke the Shiva dhanus in the Swayamvar of Sita in Mithila, in the Valmiki Ramayana. Yet in the Bala Kanda Valimiki describes and reports compliments both to Ram and Lakshmana for having broken the Shiva Dhanus(Shiva's Bow). Though Rama alone broke the bow of Shiva, both Rama and Lakshmana are said to have done it.
