Importance of the festival/event
|
| Rama Navami is a spring festival that celebrates the birthday of God Ramachandra. He is particularly important to the Vaishnavism tradition of Hinduism, as the seventh avatar of Sri Vishnu. The festival celebrates the descent of Vishnu as Rama avatar, through his birth to King Dasharatha and Queen Kausalya in Ayodhya. The festival is a part of the spring Navratri, and falls on the ninth day of the bright half (Shukla Paksha) in the Hindu calendar month of Chaitra. This typically occurs in the Gregorian months of March or April every year. The day is marked by Rama Katha recitals, or reading of Rama stories including the sacred epic Ramayana. |
