Time- 11:30 am – 12:00 pm

Venue- In front of Santripti

Sri Rama Navami is a Hindu Festival that celebrates the birth of Rama. Rama was the seventh incarnation of Vishnu. People celebrate Rama Navami by going to temples that are decorated for the festival and reciting stories from the religious epic poem, the Ramayana. A continuous recital of the book takes place during the month of Chaitra prior to the celebration. On Ram Navami itself, the highlights of the story are read in the temple.

Houses are thoroughly cleaned on Rama Navami and a family shrine may be decorated with small statues of Rama. Offerings of flowers and fruit are placed on the shrine and prayers are recited after an early bath. The day is observed using traditional rituals, decorations, and food and the festival is celebrated to commemorate the birth of Lord Rama, who was the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Each year, Ram Navami is celebrated on the ninth day in the Chaitra month, according to the Hindu calendar.

The significance of the festival is that it indicates the victory of good over evil and establishment of dharma to beat adharma. The Ram Navami festival celebration starts with jal (water) offering in the early morning to Surya (a sun god) to get blessings from him. People also believe that descendants of Surya were ancestors of Rama.
