Chaitra Navratri and Ram Navami go hand-in-hand. Chaitra or Vasant Navratri is a nine day festival that begins from the first day of the Chaitra month as per Hindu Lunar Calendar. These nine days are dedicated to the worship of the Mother of the Universe, Maa Durga or Shakti. The 9th day of Chaitra Navratri is celebrated in honor of the birth of Lord Ram, hence the festival is called Ram Navami.

People celebrate these festivals by chanting the divine names, conducting poojas and other rituals based on the region of the country. But the celebration of the birth of Lord Ram is always a joyous occasion regardless of the part of the country or world where people of Indian descent reside!
