The grandest festival in Ayodhya marking Lord Rama's birth.
Ram Navami celebrates the birth of Lord Rama on Chaitra Shukla Navami. Ayodhya hosts the largest gatherings of the year, centred on Ram Mandir and the Surya Tilak ceremony when sunlight falls on Ram Lalla at noon.
Expect severe crowding on the main day and the preceding weekend. Trains and hotels sell out months ahead.
Pilgrim tips
Book hotels 3+ months in advance. Expect 6–10 hour darshan queues; consider VIP aarti pass via SRJBTKT.
