On May 13th '08 is Sita Navami; On vaishakh shukla navami goddess Lakshmi manifested on earth and emerged from a "furrow" hence was named as "Sita"
Valmiki Ramayan is very clear in stating Sita as "ayonija" unborn of human womb. King Janak states it and stresses that Sita is not an ordinary girl while giving her in marriage to Shri Ram.
Sita herself attests her birthsaying she's "ayonija" twice, once when she narrates about her birth to mata Anusuya (ayodhya kand chap 118) and in yuddha kand before she enters the pyre after Ram accuses her; to which Sita angrily states that she shouldn't be treated like a commoner b'coz she isn't an ordinary woman since she's "ayonija".
Sita, along with Durga is the most adored and worshipped goddess in India, one can find Janaki mandir where only Sita presides without Ram but there's no Ram mandir without Sita not only in India but else-where in the world. So inspite of this why is Sita's birth not celebrated just like Ram-navami is celebrated by the whole nation???
Its sad that many even don not know about the birth tithi of Sita đ and what has made the different versions of Ramayan state that Sita is the daughter of either Ravan or Mandodari??
