This region is the cultural heartland of the Madheshi people, known for its colorful festivals like Chhath Puja, where devotees worship the sun god at riverbanks at dawn. Key destinations include Janakpur, a major pilgrimage site believed to be the birthplace of Goddess Sita, featuring the stunning Janakpur Durbar and hundreds of sacred ponds.
