Ram Navami is one of the most auspicious Hindu festivals, celebrated to mark the birth of Lord Ram, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Observed on the ninth day of the Chaitra month, the festival reflects the values of truth, righteousness and dharma. In 2026, devotees across India will celebrate the occasion on March 26 and 27 with prayers, fasting, temple visits and bhajans.
The day is also a time to connect with family and friends by sharing heartfelt wishes and meaningful messages that capture the spirit of the festival.
Ram Navami also coincides with the last day of Chaitra Navratri. Lord Ram was born to King Dasharath and Queen Kaushalya in Ayodhya, according to the beliefs of the Hindus. Lord Ram is believed to be a symbol of righteousness, truth, and ideal behaviour and is called the Maryada Purushottam.
This is a very spiritually significant day as the devotees commemorate the life and teachings of Lord Ram, which still influence moral and ethical values.
