In Hinduism, it is believed that the world was created by Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh-- the trinity. Whenever evil starts over powering the good, Lord Vishnu descends on Earth in a new avatar. The seventh avatar of Lord Vishnu-- Shri Ram is much-loved and respected by Hindus across the world. Shri Ram is considered to be the most ideal and supreme of all humans. Also called Purushottam, Shri Ram is the embodiment of truth, virtue, and dharma (righteousness). His life and times are narrated in the ancient Hindu epic 'Ramayana', and it continues to inspire people even today. His teaching of righteousness, duty, and justice are timeless lessons for humanity. And so, every year Shri Ram's birth is celebrated with great enthusiasm by devotees on Ram Navami , which falls on the ninth day of the Chaitra Navratri , as per the Hindu calendar. In the Gregorian calendar, this usually falls on in March or April. And so, this year Ram Navami is being celebrated on April 6, 2025.
