Sri Rama Navami
The festival of Ram Navami is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Sri Rama, who is believed to be one of the incarnations of Lord Vishnu. According to our vedic calendar, it falls on the ninth day of the Chaitra month, which is the spring season. It is considered auspicious to undertake a fast on the day of Ram Navami, in the name of Rama. The objective of the fast is to seek perfection as a human being.
