Sita

Sita, or Maya Sita

Today I wanted to write about Sita, a Hindu goddess of beauty and Nepal.

She’s the daughter of Bhumi but raised by Janaka. Sita is a consort of Rama (an avatar of Vishnu). She’s the mother of Kusha and Lava. Agni created a Maya Sita, twin sister to Sita, to protect her from the demon Jatayu during her pregnancy due to a curse placed on her during childhood.

She has six temples dedicated to her across India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.
