In anticipation of the inauguration of the Ram Mandir on January 22, Ayodhya received more than five hundred exquisitely crafted gift baskets from Janakpur, a city in Nepal believed to be the birthplace of Sita.
The beautifully decorated mementos were handed over to the general secretary of Shri Ram Janambhoomi Tirtha Trust, Champat Ray, by Ram Roshan Das, Janaki Mahantha temple in Janakpur. According to the Ramayana, Lord Ram married Sita in Ayodhya and her maiden name is Janaki.
Souvenirs included gold and silver items, furniture, clothing, fruits, cosmetics and a variety of delicious foods. These gifts and keepsakes were carefully wrapped in vibrant linen and placed inside small bamboo cubes.

A Sri Lankan delegation visited Ayodhya and gifted the Ramjanmabhoomi a rock associated with the legendary Ashok Vatika.
During Sita’s captivity, she was confined in Ashok Vatika, a renowned garden of the Treta Yug era within Ravan’s domain.
The garden is believed to be located in the Hakgala Botanical Gardens in Seetha Eliya, a town in the central region of Sri Lanka, near the resort town of Nuwara Eliya.
