Ram Navami

Ram Navami celebrates the birth of Shri Ram, whom tradition honours as Maryada Purushottam, the ideal of dharma, duty and compassion. Because Ram is said to have appeared at midday, the madhyahna period is the preferred time for the main pujan.

Families read from the Ramcharitmanas, sing bhajans and rock a small image of Ram Lalla in a cradle. Many choose a Sundarkand path on this day to remember Hanuman's devotion. Both can be arranged in your name through an online sankalp if you are away from home.
