King Janaka, the king of Mithila and the adoptive father of Sita, was a unique and fascinating figure in the Ramayana. He was known for his wisdom, piety, and compassion, and he was also a skilled warrior and administrator.

Even all the more dazzling that an iron plate is sandwiched between each two stones developing the sanctuary.
