Devotees Mark Final Day of Chaitra Navratri
Devotees thronged temples across various parts of country on last day of Chaitra Navratri on Friday and marked the final and ninth day of Chaitra Navratri, dedicated to Goddess Siddhidatri, with immense religious fervour. The ninth day of Chaitra Navratri holds special significance at the temple, where numerous rituals are performed to mark the auspicious occasion.
Significance of Ram Navami
Ram Navami is the day when Lord Rama appeared in his human and divine form, and is celebrated with great reverence and festivities all over India, but especially in the sacred city of Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh. Leading up to Ram Navami, Hindus observe the 9-day fast during the Chaitra Navaratri, which consists of abstinence from alcohol, smoking, consumption of sattvic vegetarian food and immersing oneself in prayer and meditation to let the body go through a process of detoxification.
