About this festival

Ram Navami celebrates the birth of Lord Rama, on the ninth day of the bright fortnight of Chaitra. Rama is believed to have been born at midday, so the day is chosen by the Navami tithi prevailing at noon. In Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, the Sita–Rama Kalyanam at Bhadrachalam is the highlight.

How it is observed

  • Madhyahna (midday) puja and Rama katha.
  • Panakam (jaggery and pepper drink) and neer mor in South India.
  • Sita–Rama Kalyanam (wedding ceremony) in temples.

Questions people ask

Why do some calendars show Ram Navami on two days?

When Navami spans two middays, Smarta and Vaishnava calendars may pick different days. This site uses the Navami at midday.
