The Hindu spring festival of Ram Navami celebrates the birth of Lord Ram, the seventh avatar of Lord Vishnu. The day is observed on the ninth day of Shukhla Paksha (bright half) in the Hindu calendar month of Chaitra. This year, Ram Navami falls Sunday, March 25.
Lord Ram was born to King Dasharatha and Queen Kausalya in Ayodhya and came to Earth to kill Ravana.
Ram Navami celebrations are marked by pujas, bhajan, and kirtan (devotional worship). Devotees also observe a fast on the day and recite passages from Ram's life.
Rathayatras (chariot procession) with idols of Ram, his wife Sita, his brother Lakshman, and Lord Hanuman are also organized in various places.
Sweets are an important part of the festival and these are first offered to Lord Ram and then shared among family and friends.
Meanwhile, here are a few wishes, messages and greetings to share with your loved ones on this auspicious day.
