Shri Ram Navami is a Hindu festival that celebrates the birth of Lord Rama, the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu. It typically falls on the ninth day (Navami) of the Chaitra month in the Hindu lunar calendar, which usually occurs in March or April.
Significance:
Lord Rama is revered as a symbol of virtue, courage, and devotion.
His story is told in the epic Ramayana, which details his life, exile, the abduction of his wife Sita by Ravana, and the eventual victory of good over evil.
Ram Navami is not just a celebration of his birth, but also a reminder of dharma (righteousness).
How It's Celebrated:
Fasting and prayers are observed by devotees.
Temples perform special pujas and recitations of the Ramayana.
Rath yatras (chariot processions) with idols of Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, and Hanuman are common in many cities.
Some devotees also visit Ayodhya, Lord Rama’s birthplace, for grand celebrations.
