Origin of Ram Navami


navdurga
The great king Dasaratha of Ayodhya had three wives – Kaushalya, Sumithra and Kaikeyi. He could not obtain any child so Rishi Vashishta suggested to perform putra kamesti Yagna. Hence, after a few months on the ninth day of Navami Kaushalya gave birth to Lord Ram. His coming to the earth made all the devtas and apsaras drop flowers on the baby. He had come for a reason and not for only some years but for generations to come.

Rituals of Ram Navami


Devotees of Lord Rama visit all the way down to Ayodhya (Uttar Pradesh) and celebrate pompously in temples. People take bath and dip in the holy water. Many observe fast from sunrise to sunset that is Astha (eight) prahar fasting during Rama Navami. At some places the festivities last for 9 long days which is known as Shri Ram Navratri. Many parts of the south of the country also observe this day as the wedding of Lord Rama and his consort Goddess Sita. Read More to Click Ram Navami 2018
