The birth anniversary of Lord Rama is
known as Ramnavami. Ram is also known to be the seventh incarnation of Lord
Vishnu. India is the only country which has majority of Hindus, so the
celebrations are primarily in India.
However, this
does not mean the festival is not celebrated in other places. With Indians
spread all over the world, the festival of Ramnavami is celebrated almost
everywhere in the world! It is considered as one of the five, most sacred
festivals of the Hindu religion.
Even those who
do not celebrate would have definitely heard of famous 'Ram Leela'. It is a
musical dance drama that depicts the life of Ram. Temples and idols of Ram are
beautifully decorated.

Some of the
devotees observe rigorous fasts for all the nine days and eat only fruit and
milk once a day. They believe fasting will please the gods and bring blessings
upon them.
