'''Vivah Panchami''' is a Hindu festival celebrating the wedding of [[Rama]] and [[Sita]]. It is observed on the fifth day of the [[Paksha|Shukla paksha]] or waxing phase of moon in the [[Agrahayana]] month (November – December) as per [[Maithili calendar]] and in the month of [[Margashirsha]] in [[Hindu Calendar]]. The day is observed as the Vivah Utsav of Sita and [[Rama]] in temples and sacred places associated with Sri Rama in [[Mithila (region)|Mithila region]] of [[India]] and [[Nepal]].<br />
<br />
==Observances==<br />
The day is of great importance at [[Janakpurdham]] in [[Nepal]], where thousands of pilgrims arrive many from India and from other part of the country, as it is believed that Sita married Lord Ram (Prince of Ayodhya) here.<ref>{{cite book |title=Glimpses of Nepal|author=Naresh Chandra Sangal|author2=Prakash Sangal |publisher=APH Publishing|year=1998|isbn= 81-7024-962-7|page=24 |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=CUWIC-vigbkC&q=Vivaha+Panchami&pg=PA24}}</ref><br />
