Ram Navami
also known as Sri Rama Navami is
a Hindu
festival, celebrating the birth of Lord Rama to King Dasharatha
and Queen Kausalya
of Ayodhya.
Ram is the 7th incarnation of the Dashavatara
of Vishnu.Years
later Lord Rama was married to Sita on the Vivaha
Panchami. The sacred marriage of Devi Sita with Lord Rama was held
on Margashirsha Shukla Panchami as per Valmiki Ramayana (This occasion is known
as Seetha kalyanam). The Rama Navami festival
falls in the Shukla Paksha
on the Navami,
the ninth day of the month of Chaitra in the Hindu
calendar. Thus it is also known as Chaitra Masa Suklapaksha Navami, and marks the end of the
nine-day Chaitra-Navratri
celebrations.
