auto_storiesRam Navami 2026 Vrat Katha & Significance

Lord Rama was born in Ayodhya to King Dasharatha and Queen Kausalya on Navami Tithi. King Dasharatha had performed a special sacrifice (Putrakameshti Yajna) to get children. Lord Vishnu chose to incarnate to defeat the demon king Ravana, who had attained boons making him invincible to gods, but vulnerable to humans. Rama's life as "Maryada Purushottama" teaches the value of duty towards parents, brothers, and society.
