Janakpaurdham, Nov 5 (RSS): An international conference on ‘Ramayan Circuit and Mithila-Awadh Relations’ concluded here Saturday, issuing a 10-point declaration, insisting on the need of an introduction and implementation of a development project to develop Janakpur into an ‘ideal city’.
The conference has pointed out the need of developing a mechanism to well inform visitors/devotees arriving in the city about religious and other historic sites and their proper management here so as to lengthen their stay.
The conference has come up with the concept of ‘Sitaram Loksanskritik Yatra’, a pilgrimage from Janakpurdham to Ayodhya of India covering five routes believed to be travelled by Sita and Ram, the mythological Hindu goddess and god respectively, while heading to Ayodhya from Janakpur.
The event also drew the attention of bodies concerned towards establishing a research center on the life of Sita, Ram and king Janak, the father of Sita, in Nepal’s universities and starting classes on their personas, demanding the national holiday on the Janaki Nawami.
Operation of bus services from Janakpur to Ayodhya and expansion of railway service on this route has been stressed in the declaration. The two-day event has decided to organise Awadh Cultural Festival in Janakpurdham and Mithila Cultural Festival in Ayodhya to further consolidate and promote cultural ties between Mithila and Awadh.
Religious leaders, economic experts and researchers from Nepal and India participated in the conference jointly organised by the Mithila Awadh Cultural Protection Council, Janakpur Sub Metropolis, Janakpur Greater Area Development Council and the local Janaki Temple.
