About Ram Navami
Ram Navami celebrates the birth of Lord Rama, the seventh avatar of Vishnu and the ideal of dharma and righteous kingship, to King Dasharatha and Queen Kausalya in Ayodhya.
Tithi rule: Shukla Paksha Navami of Chaitra. Rama was born at midday, so the main puja is in the Madhyahna (late morning to midday) when Navami is active.
🪔 How it is observed
Devotees fast, recite the Ramayana or Ramcharitmanas, sing bhajans and perform the cradle (Rama janma) ceremony at noon; processions and community meals are common.
Customs vary by region and family — follow your own tradition and your family priest’s guidance.
