The day is the ninth and last day of Chaitra Navaratri. It celebrates the arrival of Vishnu's 7th avatar, Lord Rama. It is marked by the faithfuls with puja (devotional worship) such as bhajan and kirtan, by fasting and reading passages about Rama's life. Special cities in the Ramayana legends about Rama's life observe major celebrations. These include Ayodhya (Uttar Pradesh), Rameshwaram (Tamil Nadu), Bhadrachalam (Telangana) and Sitamarhi (Bihar). Some locations organize Rath-yatras (chariot processions), while some celebrate it as the wedding anniversary festival (Kalyanotsavam) of Rama and Sita. In our Temple we will be performing Kalyanotsavam (Wedding Ceremony). Ram Navami is symbolically celebrated as Shirdhi Sai Baba’s birthday.
