Many saints, sages, and spiritual practitioners recommend waking up during Brahma Muhurat to perform prayers, chant mantras, practise yoga, or engage in spiritual learning. Ayurveda also considers this period beneficial for maintaining physical and mental well-being, as the body and mind are said to be refreshed after sleep.

Since Ramayana is inspired by the revered Hindu epic, releasing its trailer during Brahma Muhurat is seen as a symbolic gesture of devotion and respect towards the sacred story. The early morning launch aligns with the film's spiritual theme and is intended to invoke positivity and blessings at the beginning of its promotional journey.
