Ram Navamiā€™s roots lie deep in ancient Hindu scriptures, particularly the Valmiki Ramayana. According to the text, Lord Rama was born on this day in Ayodhya to King Dasharatha and Queen Kausalya. His birth fulfilled a divine prophecy that he would defeat the demon king Ravana, restoring peace and righteousness to the world. The Ramayana chronicles Lord Ramaā€™s life, focusing on his dedication to dharma (righteousness), loyalty, sacrifice and devotion. His life journey including his epic battle with Ravana, symbolises the eternal struggle between good and evil.
