Vivah Panchami
Also known as: Ram Vivah, Ram Sita Vivah
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.
Vivah Panchami celebrates the divine wedding of Lord Rama and Goddess Sita, re-enacted with great joy in Ayodhya and in Janakpur, Nepal — Sita's birthplace. Devotees hold ceremonial weddings of Rama and Sita idols, sing wedding songs, and read the marriage episode from the Ramayana.
