Reviewing work at Punaura Dham in Sitamarhi, Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary said the temple complex will be completed by 31 December 2028, after which Mata Janaki will be consecrated.
The model includes the main temple, an enclosure wall, a yajna mandap, a ritual pavilion, a priest's residence, a museum, an auditorium and a Mahila Haat. A temporary wooden pavilion now houses idols of Lord Ram and Mata Sita. The project is expected to boost religious tourism and local jobs; Bajjika and Sikki crafts were showcased during the visit.
