About Ram Navami
Ram Navami celebrates the birth of Rama, the seventh avatar of Vishnu, on the ninth day of Chaitra Navratri. It closes the nine-day Vasanta Navratri observance that begins at Gudi Padwa.
Devotees fast through the day, recite the Ramayana and the Ramcharitmanas, and take processions with idols of Rama through the streets. Temples perform abhishekam to the deity at midday, the hour traditionally associated with the birth, and many towns hold fairs that last into the evening.
