Rama Navami is a Hindu festival which celebrates the birth of Lord Ram -- one of the most popularly revered deities in Hinduism.

Lord Ram is also known as the seventh 'avatar' of Vishnu.

Ram Navami falls on the ninth day of the 'Shukla Paksha' of the lunar cycle of 'Chaitra' (March-April) which is the last month in the Hindu calendar.

Ram Navami is also a part of the Chaitra Navaratri festival.
