Ram Navami marks the birth of Lord Ram — the seventh avatar of Vishnu — on the 9th day of the bright fortnight of Chaitra. Temples resound with the chanting of Ram's name, readings of the Ramayana, and offerings of panchamrit and tulsi leaves

Mantra
ॐ श्री रामाय नमः
Om Shri Ramaya Namaha — I bow to Lord Ram, the embodiment of righteousness, dharma, and devotion

🪔 Aarti
Aarti Kije Shri Ramlala Ki
आरती कीजे श्रीरामलला की । पूर्ण निपुण धनुर्वेद कला की ॥ धनुष वाण कर सोहत नीके । शोभा कोटि मदन मद फीके ॥ सुभग सिंहासन आप बिराजैं । वाम भाग वैदेही राजैं ॥ कर जोरे रिपुहन हनुमाना । भरत लखन सेवत बिधि नाना ॥ शिव अज नारद गुन गन गावैं । निगम नेति कह पार न पावैं ॥ नाम प्रभाव सकल जग जानैं । शेष महेश गनेस बखानैं ॥ भगत कामतरु पूरणकामा । दया क्षमा करुना गुन धामा ॥ सुग्रीवहुँ को कपिपति कीन्हा । राज विभीषन को प्रभु दीन्हा ॥ खेल खेल महु सिंधु बंधाये । लोक सकल अनुपम यश छाये ॥ दुर्गम गढ़ लंकापति मारे । सुर नर मुनि सबके भय टारे ॥ देवन थापि सुजस विस्तारे । कोटिक दीन मलीन उधारे ॥ कपि केवट खग निसिचर केरे । करि करुना दुःख दोष निवेरे ॥ देत सदा दासन्ह को माना । जगतपूज्य भे कपि हनुमाना ॥ आरत दीन सदा सत्कारे । तिहुंपुर होत राम जयकारे ॥
