Sitamarhi-Bhitthamore Road

Sitamarhi-Bhitthamore Road is a section of the National Highway 227 (India). It is also a part of the Ram-Janki Path (Ramayan circuit). This road is important for religious reasons as it connects via Bhitthamore(India) to Janakpur which houses a 200-years-old Janki Temple with Sitamarhi—considered to be the birthplace of Goddess Sita.[1] It is the lifeline road for the local towns and villages residing near the Indo-Nepal border.[2] This road keeps on making headlines of news[3] due to the floods & international border sharing with Nepal.[4][5][6]
