When is Ram Navami or birthday of Lord Rama celebrated?

Ram Navami is the celebration of the birthday of Rama, a divine figure in Hinduism. On this festival people perform Kalyanotsavam (marriage celebration) with small images of Rama and Sita in their houses, and at the end of the day the deity is taken to a procession on the streets.

Ramnavami or the birthday of Lord Rama falls on the 9th day of the bright fortnight of the month of Chaitra (March-April).

Sri-Ramnavami is dedicated to the memory of Lord Rama. It occurs on the ninth day (navami). Lord Rama is an avatar of Lord Vishnu who came down to earth to battle the invincible Ravana in human form. At some places the festival lasts the whole nine days of the Navratras, thus the period is called Sri Rama Navratra.
