Ram Navami commemorates the birth of Lord Rama.
The festival carries particular importance in places associated with the Ramayana tradition, especially Ayodhya.
How Ram Navami Is Observed
Temple worship, recitations of the Ramayana, devotional singing (bhajans) and processions may form part of celebrations.
Homes prepare special vegetarian meals. Some devotees observe fasts.
Ayodhya — The Spiritual Home
Ayodhya — traditionally regarded as the birthplace of Lord Rama — becomes the epicenter of Ram Navami celebrations.
The construction of the Ram Mandir has made Ayodhya an even more significant pilgrimage destination.
