Vivah Panchami

Why it is celebrated

Margashirsha Shukla Panchami celebrates the wedding anniversary of Bhagwan Shri Ram and Mata Sita. It is believed that in the Treta Yug the two were married on this day in Janakpur. In Ayodhya and in Janakpur in Nepal, a Ram baraat procession is taken out and the wedding is celebrated with great joy.

The story

Sita, the daughter of King Janak of Mithila, was full of good qualities from childhood. King Janak had a very heavy bow of Bhagwan Shiv that an ordinary person could not even lift. Janak ji vowed that Sita would marry the one who could string this bow.

Kings came from far and wide to the swayamvar, but none could even move the bow. At that time the princes of Ayodhya, Ram and Lakshman, had also come to Janakpur with the sage Vishwamitra. With his guru's permission, Ram ji rose calmly, bowed to all in his heart and lifted the bow with ease. As he drew the string, the bow broke in the middle.

Full of joy, Sita ji placed the jaimala around Ram ji's neck. Then King Dashrath came from Ayodhya to Janakpur with the wedding party. On Margashirsha Shukla Panchami, Ram and Sita were married, and in the same mandap Lakshman, Bharat and Shatrughan married Urmila, Mandavi and Shrutakirti.

All of Mithila and Ayodhya danced with joy. This day is still celebrated in memory of that happiness.
