According to mythology, Shri Ram, Lakshman and Vishwamitra had spent a whole month during the Kartik month on the Simaria coast. Even then, devotees make a cottage every year on the banks of Simaria, which is called Kalpwas and dives in the river. , Because it is believed that during this period a dip in the Ganges dashes all the sins. During the period the environment becomes very religious, and the celebration ends with the Chhath festival. The sacredness of the Ganges is indisputable, from which it passes any time, but some holy places around it have earned a more sacred identity. Simaria is one of them. Kartika - Fair has been recognized as State Fair. On the banks of River Ganga, Kalpvas has also been appreciated in "Fishy Mahapuraan" (Chapter 108). All pilgrims from Mithilanchal, West Bengal, Orissa, Eastern Uttar Pradesh and even down of Nepal come here on the banks of the Ganges for Kalpvas for a month. It seems that in the poems of Vidyapati, the border of Ganga can be Simaria. The continuous flow of devotees from Mithila's heart to Simaria supports this belief. It is believed that since the time of Raja Videh, the tradition of Kalpavas festival is on the banks of the Simaria Ganga river. The boundary of Amethila is Simaria. Ganga is still the center of religious faith for the Mithila residents. Even today, Simaria is the legend of Mithila and the salvation of Mantra. Raja Janak (Videh) had made his last rites in his last state and sacrificed his life here.
