Description:
Ram Navami is celebrated to mark the birth of Lord Ram to King Dasharath and Queen Kausalya in Ayodhya in Treta Yuga. A spring festival, it is celebrated on the ninth day of Chaitra month – the first month in the Hindu lunar calendar. It is believed that after nine days of Chaitra Navratri, during which the nine forms of Goddess Durga are worshipped, Lord Ram and his three brothers — Lakshman, Bharat and Shatrughan — descended on Earth. On this day, people visit temples dedicated to Lord Ram, who is also known as “Maryada Purushottam”, and pray to him to show them the right path in life and conduct.
