Mythology
According to Hindu mythology, Lord Rama was in Treta Yuga killed Ravana releasing his loving wife, the Goddess Sita. According to hearsay, Dharharwa exists since the birth of Sita. Janak King of Mithila, was advised to plough with his own hands to free the country from a long period of barrenness. Where King Janak held the great plough it was Dharharwa. King Janak ended his ploughing where he found baby Sita in a pot. Where King Janak found Sita in a pot, it has been known as Punaura Dham, Sitamarhi now in Bihar (India). The capital of Raja Janak is Janakpur, known as Janakpur Dham, now in Nepal.
Dhar stands for in local language to take or hold, while Har stands for plough. Since then it has been called Dharharwa. Janakpur Dham is known as the capital of Mithila. Mithila Kingdom was then ruled by King Janak and by his predecessor and successor.
