Review highlights
- MAJOR FIND / DUAL-IDENTITY TOWN: a significant Kalyanak Bhumi Tirth at Dumra, a suburb of Sitamarhi, marking 4 Kalyanaks (auspicious life-events) each of the Tirthankaras Mallinath and Naminath, and the site of 4 Chaturmas (monsoon-halt) stays of Lord Mahavir himself. Consistent with this workbook's recurring dual-faith-identity-town pattern, Sitamarhi's dominant public identity is as the traditional birthplace of Sita Mata (consort of Lord Rama) - a reviewer (a self-identified Hindu visitor) specifically notes discovering this Jain Tirth while exploring the town's other holy sites. Has a functional dharamshala and bhojanshala - see matching dharamshala-sheet entry.
