Ram Navami falls on the ninth day of the waxing moon in Chaitra, closing Chaitra Navratri. Tradition places Rama's birth at midday, so observance peaks at noon rather than dawn or dusk. Readings of the Ramayana, particularly the Bala Kanda, run through the day.
Rituals
- Fast from dawn until the midday puja
- Perform the main puja at madhyahna (midday)
- Read or listen to the Ramayana
- Offer panakam, kosambari and buttermilk
