Sita Swayamvara (Maithili: सीता स्वंवर) is the swayamvara event, culminating in the wedding of the deities Rama and Sita, the protagonists of the Hindu epic Ramayana. The event was related to a competition among the kings in the Indian subcontinent to win the hand of the princess Sita of the Mithila Kingdom. The competition of the Sita Swayamvara was organised at the court of Sita's father - King Shreedhwaja Janaka in Mithila.[1][2][3]
