Saurath Sabha
Saurath is a village situated six Kilometers north east of Madhubani town in Madhubani District of Bihar. It is famous for being the place where thousands of Maithil Brahaman converged to fix marriage during marriage season. The people gathered at Saurath Sabha Gachchhi (Sabha means congregation and Gachchhi mean orchard in Maithili).〔(C S Jha 'Azad', "Saurath Sabha only part of folklore", ''The Times of India'' (25 Nov 2006) )〕 This gathering is an annual event held in the Hindu calendar months of Jyestha-Aasadh. This was an important social congregation where the marriages of Maithil boys and girls are fixed up according to the reading of horoscope by the Panjikars ( Registrars ).〔(Fairs )〕 The gathering is organised in an orchard covering 22 bighas of land that was donated by the Maharaja of Darbhanga.〔http://www.hindu.com/2004/06/22/stories/2004062209300300.htm accessed on Jan08, 2008〕
== History of Saurath village ==
Original name of the village, as mentioned in 'Tithi Nirnaya' is Saurashtra. This village was originally named Saurastra, literally a cultural and intellectual centre of sau-rastra, nations associated with Janaka of Nepal, the ancient king of Mithila. Janak is mention in the Ramayana epic as father of Maithili Princess Sita. Tradition has it that the svayambara (self-chosen form of marriage) of Janaka's daughter, Sita, took place in this village.
The presiding God of this village is Somanath or Shiva. There is an interesting story which links Saurath to Somnath Temple In (), Gujarat. According to folk tradition, in AD 1025, Mahmud of Ghazni attacked the famous temple of Somnath, looted the fabulous wealth of the temple, and destroyed it completely. It is believed that Lord Somnath appeared in the dream of the two Maithil Brahman brothers, Bhagirathdutta Sharma and Gangadutta Sharma, and asked them to take His lingam away. The two brothers, following God's instruction, went to Dwarka and brought the lingam to Saurath and kept the lingam in hiding for a long time. Later the lingam was duly enshrined. Somanath temple at Dwarka is situated in a region known as Saurashtra. In the 18th century a Maithil king from Janakpur, Nepal constructed here the temple of Somnath.〔http://www.ignca.nic.in/viir0004.htm accessed on 08 Jan, 2008〕 This story is mentioned in the introductory chapter of the official District Gazeteer of Darbhanga (1964, when Madhubani district was part of Darbhanga) by Roy Choudahary, available in all major libraries of India.
