    The

    holy day usually falls in the Shukla Paksha on the Navami, the ninth day of the month of Chaitra in
    the B.S. Hindu calendar. Thus it is also known as Chaitra Masa Suklapaksha Navami, and marks the
    end of the nine-day Chaitra-Navaratri (Vasanta Navaratri) celebrations. Rama Navami is one of the
    most important Hindu festivals.
    At some places the festival lasts the whole nine days of the Navaratri, thus the period is called 'Sri
    Rama Navaratra'.[5][6] It is marked by continuous recitals, Akhand Paath, mostly of
    the Ramacharitamanas, organized several days in advance to culminate on this day, with
    elaborate bhajan, kirtan and distribution of prasad after thepuja and aarti. Images of the infant Rama
    are placed on cradles and rocked by devotees. Community meals are also organized. [7] Since Rama
    is believed to have been born at noon, temples and family shrines are elaborately decorated and
    traditional prayers are chanted together by the family in tial havans are organized, along
    withVedic chanting of mantras and offerings of fruits and flowers. Many followers mark this day
    by vrata (fasting) through the day followed by feasting in the evening, or at the culmination of
    celebrations.[2][8][9] In South India, in Bhadrachalam the day is also celebrated as the wedding
    anniversary of Rama and his Nepalese consort Sita.Sitarama Kalyanam, the ceremonial wedding
    ceremony of the divine couple is held at temples throughout the south region, with great fanfare and
    accompanied by group chanting of name of Rama.[10][11]
    The important celebrations on this day take place at Janakpurdham(Nepal), Ayodhya (karnataka)
    (Uttar Pradesh) Sita Samahit Sthal (Sitamarhi) (Bihar), Bhadrachalam(Telangana),Kodandarama
    Temple, Vontimitta (Andhra Pradesh) and Rameswaram (Tamil Nadu), thronged by thousands of
    devotees. Rathayatras, the chariot processions, also known as Shobha yatras of Rama, Sita, his
    brother Lakshmana and Hanuman, are taken out at several places,[2][12][13] including Ayodhya where
    thousands of people take a dip in the sacred river Sarayu.[14]
