🪷 Rāma-Navamī · Living Festival and Source Tradition
Rāma-Navamī (Caitra Śukla Navamī) is annually observed in honor of Bhagavān Śrī Rāma's janma. The Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa and Śrī Rāmcharitamānas preserve the textual and bhakti pathways. Vidhyamitra presents the living observance without assigning an exact ancient civil date or verified natal chart.
