  2. The area around the deities is decorated with bananas, Tulsi leaves, and flowers typically used for puja.

     

  3. It is considered that the birth of Lord Ram took place around noon, hence the most significant puja is carried out at that time.

  5. When the puja prasad is distributed at noon, a lot of people break their fast with it.

     

  6. A Ram Bhajan or a Vishnu Sahasranama may be included among the devotional songs that are sung. On this day, passages from the Ramayana, in particular the chapter known as Bala Khanda, are read aloud.

     

  7. In addition to that, there are individuals who abstain from food for the entirety of the day. There are also communities that practise the nirjala fast, which involves abstaining from water during the fast.

During Ram Navmi, the people of South India perform an elaborate puja, and a traditional fan called a visari is given away alongside the ‘Prasadam.’ After breaking the fast, the day’s activities include the preparation of foods and beverages that have a cooling effect on the body.

The Magnificence of Lord Sri Rama

The name of Lord Sri Ram is a wish-yielding tree that is the very abode of the spiritual state in this age of Kaliyug. In other words, the name of Lord Sri Ram is a tree that grants wishes.

Not only in this Kaliyou age, but also in all of the other four ages, at all times (past, present, and future), and in all three domains (namely, heaven, earth, and the subterranean region), beings have been liberated from their suffering by repeatedly reciting the name of Sri Ram.
