Yogapedia Explains Ram Navami
Ram Navami is a part of and held on the final day of Vasanta or Chaitra Navratri, the nine-day spring festival that celebrates the change of seasons and that honors the feminine divine energy Shakti.
Ram Navami is held on the ninth day of shukla paksha (the waxing moon) in the Hindu month of Chaitra. According to Hindu mythology, Vishnu descended to Earth as Rama through birth to King Dasharatha and Queen Kausalya in Ayodhya. Vishnu incarnated as Rama in order to rid the world of the demon King Ravana, which he does in the Ramayana.
