Echoing the triumph of Punaura Dham, Bihar’s Motihari is set to breathe new life into Sitakund Dham through a comprehensive development drive. This move signals the state’s renewed focus on religious infrastructure, aiming to draw millions to its sacred landscapes.
Sitakund Dham’s lore intertwines with Sita’s divine journey, making it a focal point for rituals and festivals. Neglect over decades had dimmed its allure, but Punaura’s revival—marked by increased revenue and global recognition—ignites hope.
Plans detail a holistic facelift: renovated temples with gold-plated kalash, amphitheaters for kathas, and shuttle services from railway stations. Waste management and medical aid posts address practical needs, ensuring a seamless darshan experience.
The project fosters synergy between government, trusts, and villagers, with training programs for guides and performers. Tourism minister’s vision: ‘Let every Bihar tirtha shine like Varanasi.’ Projections indicate a 300% rise in visitors within three years.
As groundwork begins amid chants and ceremonies, Sitakund Dham emerges as a testament to Bihar’s cultural resurgence. Balancing devotion with development, it invites the faithful to a site renewed in splendor.
