Happy Ram Navami 2019: For devout followers of Lord Ram, the festival of Ram Navami holds great significance. It is observed on the last day of Chaitra Navratri, to commemorate the birthday of Lord Ram, the seventh avatar among the Dashavatar of Lord Vishnu. According to legend, it is believed that on the auspicious day of Shukla Paksha Navami, Lord Ram made his divine appearance along with his three brothers, Lakshmana, Bharat and Shatrughna in Ayodhya during Madhyahna period (noon). He chose the house of Maharaja Dashratha who was extremely worried about the absence of sons in his dynasty.
