Shri Ram Navami 2025:
Shri Ram Navami 2025: Shri Ram Navami, one of the most revered Hindu festivals, marks the birth of Lord Rama, the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Celebrated on the ninth day (Navami) of Shukla Paksha in the month of Chaitra, it coincides with the spring season and the conclusion of Chaitra Navratri. In 2025, this sacred day is celebrated on Sunday, April 6, across India and among Hindu communities worldwide.
What makes Ram Navami 2025 even more historic is that it’s being celebrated as the first grand festival at the newly inaugurated Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir in Ayodhya, which opened earlier this year to millions of devotees.

He is known for:
- His unwavering devotion to dharma (duty)
