Hi i am roshan from India.Celebrating Festival of India ‘Rama Navmi’
Rama Navmi
Ram Navami is a spring Hindu festival which marks the birth of Lord Rama, the seventh avatar of Lord Vishnu on the ninth day of Chaitra Navratri. Especially the Ramayana which is considered one of the two great Sanskrit epics of the Hindu religion
Rama Navmi is one of the biggest Hindu festivals and is celebrated in a number of ways. Some devotees bathe and dress up miniature idols of Lord Rama and place them in a cradle to mark his birth. A lamp is lit in front of the idol and kheer is prepared as an offering to God. A lot of people celebrate Navami by providing food for the needy. Hindus also perform the rituals of Kanya Puja on this day, where nine girls are invited at home and given respect as Hindus believe that they are the manifestation of Indian Devis. A prashad consisting of halwa and puri is also prepared and given to the girls.
As Lord Rama was said to have been born at noon, that is the time when most prayers happen in temples across the country. Continuous recitals, especially of the Ramacharitamanas are organised in the preceding days and they conclude on this particular day. A cradle is decorated and an image of infant Rama is placed in it. This is rocked by devotees wanting to pay homage to the gods. In Bhadrachalam and many other temples in the south of India, a ceremonial wedding ceremony of Lord Ram and Sita (called Sitarama Kalyanam) is also held on this day.
It is marked by the faithfuls with puja (devotional worship) such as bhajan and kirtan, by fasting and reading passages about Rama’s life.
