Birth anniversary of Lord Rama — the ideal king

📖 The Story

Ram Navami celebrates the birth of Lord Rama, the seventh avatar of Vishnu and the hero of the Ramayana. Rama was born to King Dasharatha and Queen Kaushalya of Ayodhya at midday on the ninth day (Navami) of the bright half (Shukla Paksha) of the month of Chaitra. Rama is considered the ideal man — the perfect son, husband, king, and warrior. His story teaches dharma (righteous duty) and the ultimate victory of truth over evil.

🪔 Puja Vidhi

Fast for the day or eat only fruits. Read or listen to Ramcharitmanas or Ramayana. At noon (when Rama was born), perform a special puja with flowers, sweets, and panchamrit. Rock the cradle of baby Rama (if you have a murti). Chant Sri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram.
