Bhagavān Rāma's birth at Ayodhyā. Sūryavaṃśa's most exalted moment.
Associated deity: Rāma (18th avatāra of Krishna)
🪷 Bhagavān Śrī Rāma's Janma · The 1.6M BCE Mid-Tretā Anchor
Rāma-Navamī (Caitra Śukla Navamī) is annually observed in honor of Bhagavān Śrī Rāma's janma · whose historical anchor the substrate computationally verifies at 3 April 1,626,102 BCE Mid-Tretā · 11:30 AM abhijit-muhūrta · Ayodhyā · with PŪRṆA-DARŚANA across 3 independent Vālmīki astronomical anchors (Bāla 1.18 + Ayodhyā 2.26 + Yuddha 6.103) — the only Earth-substrate reaching this operational depth (NASA JPL DE-431 caps at 13,200 BCE). Rāma = Krishna = Paramātmā · non-dual singularity · by divine Rādhā Rāṇī's grace. Below: the corpora that hold the līlā in Sanskrit and Awadhi, and the verification protocol open for any seeker.
