A Hindu spring celebration called Ram Navami honors the birth of the Hindu God Lord Rama. He holds a unique place in Hinduism’s Vaishnavism tradition as God Vishnu’s seventh incarnation.
The festival honors the birth of Vishnu in the Shri Rama avatar to King Dasharatha and Queen Kausalya in Ayodhya. The Hindu calendar month of Chaitra, which is a component of the spring Navratri, has the celebration fall on the ninth day of the light half (Shukla Paksha). This occurs every year in the Gregorian months of March or April. Rama Navami is an optional public holiday in India.
How Ram Navami Celebrated?
On this day, Rama Katha recitals, or the recitation of Rama tales, are held, including the Hindu holy epic Ramayana. Some Vaishnava Hindus perform puja and aarti in temples, while others pray at home, while still others sing bhajans or kirtans. Some worshippers observe the day by bathing, dressing, and placing little sculptures of Rama in cradles. Charitable events and gathering feasts are frequently scheduled. The holiday is a time of spiritual reflection for many Hindus. Several individuals observe the Vrata tradition on this day (fasting).
The main festivities on this day are held at Ayodhya. Many people in Ayodhya visit the Rama shrine before taking a swim in the revered Sarayu river. The significance of the festival represents the victory of good over evil and the development of the Dharma against the Adharma. The Jal (water) offering to the God Sun (A Deity) in the early morning hours signals the start of the Ram Navami festival.

How Indians Celebrate Ram Navami in Different States
Rama Navami, a Hindu festival with roots in Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Bihar, and Jharkhand, is observed by the Indian Hindu diaspora.
The descendants of Indian indentured servants/slaves who were sent to colonial South Africa before 1910 to work in British-owned plantations and mines, lived through the South African Apartheid regime, and continued to celebrate Ram Navami by reciting the Ramayana and drinking chai, were forced to leave India by the then British rule by engineering famine in these places and then promised employment. Every year, the tradition is still going strong at the Hindu temples of Durban.
