Simraungadh, (also referred to as Simramapura, Simraongarh or Simroungarh) (/ˈsiːmraʊnɡɜːr/, Devanagari: सिम्रौनगढ) was a fortified city[1] and the main capital of the Karnats of Mithila,[2] founded by its first ruler, Nanyadeva[3] in 1097.[4][5][6] At the present time, the excavations show that the city is located on the India-Nepal border. There is also a municipality by the same name in Nepal.[7] The archaeological site is currently split between Bara district in Nepal in the north and East Champaran in Bihar, India in the south, both falling within the Mithila cultural region.[8][9]
