Mithila (Sanskrit: मिथिला, mithilā) was capital of Videha kingdom in ancient India situated between foothills of Himalayas and River Ganges. Videha Kingdom is erroneously more popularly known as Mithila Kingdom. The ancient region of Mithila is today split into adjacent part of two countries – India and Nepal. Mithila was the capital of Videha Kingdom as per epic Ramayana. This city is identified as modern day Janakpur (also called Janakpurdham) in Dhanusa district of Nepal. This region was also called Tairabhukti, the ancient name of Tirhut. The Videha or Mithila Kingdom is believed to be bounded on the north by the Himalaya, on the south the Ganges, on the east the Kosi, and on the west the Gandak. It was also the region where two most venerated names in the religious history of the world - Gautama Buddha and Vardhamana Mahavira, spend considerable time.
