Ram Navami
Also known as: Rama Navami
Dates follow the Indian calendar (IST). If you’re outside India, your local temple may observe a day earlier or later for tithi-based festivals.
Ram Navami celebrates the birth of Lord Rama, the prince of Ayodhya whose life is the great example of honesty, duty, and kindness. Devotees read the Ramayana, sing bhajans, fast until noon, and visit temples where baby Rama is rocked in a cradle.
