Legend Associated with the Birth of Maa Sita
When Lord Vishnu decided to descend on earth in the form of a human to establish Ram-Rajya to destroy all the atrocities taking place, his wife (Maa Lakshmi) also desired to come along with him. It is said that when Lord Vishnu was born to Naresh Dasaratha in the form of Lord Rama and then, Devi Laksmi was born to Raja Janak in the form of Maa Sita.
As per Valmiki Ramayana, it is said that Raja Janak had no issue and therefore, he resolved to perform Yagya to be blessed with the same and he was ploughing the field on Navami Tithi in Vaishakh month during Shukla Paksha under Pushya Nakshatra. At the same time, his plough got stuck in the field and it did not get free despite the best efforts and therefore, the place was dug deeply. After this, it was found that the plough got stuck because of the utensil.
Then, a girl appeared from the utensil. Since Raja Janak was ploughing the field and the edges of the plough are known as Seet and therefore, he named the girl as Sita and considered her as his daughter. It is said that the happiness in the Mithila family came back with the presence of the girl and everybody began to live peacefully. The day Raja Janak found the girl in the field, it was Navami Tithi of Phalgun month during Krishna Paksha and every year, Janaki Jayanti is celebrated on this very day.
