Lord Ram's birth is celebrated as the Ram Navami festival across India. This year, the festival will be celebrated on March 30. The day is celebrated on the ninth day in the month of Chaitra, which is the first month in the Hindu lunar calendar.

Lord Ram was the eldest son of King Dasaratha and his first wife Kausalya of Ayodhya. The Ram Navami festival is celebrated by reciting stories of Lord Rama's life journey. On this day, devotees observe fasts and visit temples to offer prayers to Lord Rama.
