Ram Navami, also known as Shri Ram Janmotsav, is a Hindu festival that celebrates the birth of Lord Rama, the seventh avatar of Vishnu. It is observed on the ninth day of the Chaitra month, which falls on April 6, 2025.
Devotees of Shri Ram observe a day-long fast and engage in prayer and worship of Lord Rama, along with Sita, Lakshman, and Hanuman. They recite passages from the Ramayana and other scriptures, and Ramlilas (dramatic reenactments of Rama's story) are performed.
The festival features grand aartis, processions, and bhandaras (community feasts) and is marked by decoration with lights and flowers, inviting devotees to offer their prayers.
Charity and bhajans (devotional songs) are performed continuously for 24 hours on this day. Additionally, Hawana, Homa, or Yajna, the religious ritual involving sacrificial fire, is conducted.
The akhand Ramayana path (recital of the Ramayana for 24 hours) takes place, and the deity is adorned with flowers, fragrances, new attire, and jewelry. This includes Shri Ram along with the idols of Lakshmana and Sita.
Prasadam Distribution: After the worship rituals, sweet dishes are offered as prasadam (offerings to the deity).
Seviyan Kheer: A sweet pudding made with vermicelli, milk, sugar, and nuts.
Halwa: A rich pudding that can be made with semolina, flour, vegetables, or fruits.
