Na Índia antiga, Janaka (sânscrito: जनक, janaka) ou Raja Janaka (राजा जनक, rājā janaka) foi o rei do reino Mithila. Ele nasceu no Janakpur dos dias modernos, Nepal; ele é mencionado no Ramayana como pai de Sita, e também há referência a ele no Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, no Mahabharata e nos Puranas. Janaka propôs um teste de força em que pretendentes competindo pela mão da sua filha em casamento teriam de quebrar o grande arco do deus Shiva. Rama passou nesse teste de força, e a filha de Janaka, Sita (também chamada de Janaki), casou-se com Rama e, juntos, eles foram morar em Ayodhya. Leia mais na Wikipédia
