Ram Navami is one of the sacred Hindu festivals marking the birth of Lord Rama. The festival is celebrated with immense devotion across India, especially in North India, where it coincides with the conclusion of Chaitra Navratri. Many devotees perform Homa (a ritual fire offering) and conclude their nine-day Navratri celebrations on this day, which is also known as Rama Navratri.
The festival signifies the victory of righteousness and the embodiment of dharma (righteousness) in the form of Lord Rama.
