Ram Navami is celebrated on the ninth day of the Chaitra month in the Hindu lunar calendar, marking the birth of Lord Rama, a beloved hero in Hindu mythology. On this auspicious day, temples come alive with vibrant energy as communities gather to honour Rama’s legacy through prayers, rituals, and readings from the Ramayana, immersing themselves in his epic story.
This vibrant day brings people together, often dressed in festive attire. Fasting during the day nods to Rama’s discipline, and acts of generosity reflect his spirit. Processions feature impressive floats with statues of Rama, Sita, Lakshman, and Hanuman, creating a moving storybook experience. Families gather, enjoying traditional dishes and ‘panakam,’ a sweet jaggery-based drink. Local groups often stage plays about Rama’s life, making ancient stories come alive. In essence, Rama Navami blends devotion, culture, and community vibes.
