Rama's birth in the Valmiki Ramayana

Valmiki Ramayana, Bala Kanda sarga 18, places the royal births after Dasharatha's sacrifice and the passage of seasons. Its sacred narrative says that on the ninth day of Chaitra, Kausalya gives birth to Rama; Kaikeyi gives birth to Bharata, and Sumitra to Lakshmana and Shatrughna. This is an original bounded summary of the text's story, not a copied translation, a historical dating claim or astronomical proof.

How Ram Navami is observed

Household observance can be as simple as a clean prayer space, a diya, one complete Ram reading, aarti and prasad. Ayodhya's public tradition also includes prayers, bhajans, rituals and processions. These are examples of living practice, not a checklist that every devotee must follow.
