Rama Navami is a Hindu festival that celebrates the birth of Lord Rama, one of the most revered deities in Hinduism. On this occasion, people observe fasts, chant prayers, and perform puja (worship) in honour of Lord Rama. They also decorate their homes and streets with flowers and lights and organise processions known as the ‘Rama Navami procession’ in which people dress up as characters from the Ramayana, the epic tale of Lord Rama’s life.
