Navratri is celebrated twice a year- First in the month of Chaitra (March- April) and secondly in the month of Ashwani (September – October). Navratri, celebrated in the month of March-April is the starting of the Hindu New Year. The nine-day festival is synonymous with the celebration of Ram Navami. The Ram Navami festival is celebrated on the last of this 9-day long festival. These nine days are devoted to goddess Maa Durga, known as Shakti. People worship her by referring as Mata Sherawali as the first appearance of her sitting on a tiger. It is believed that goddess Durga exists in many forms and is worshipped during this nine-day long festival. These various forms of the Goddess are: Uma, Gauri, Parvati, Jagatmata, Kali, Chandi, Bhairavi, Ambika and Annapurna.

Traditions :According to traditions, Navratri and Ram Navami are celebrated for the birth of Lord Rama and his victory over Ravana. As per the Hindu calendar, the 9th tithi i.e. date in Chaitra Shukla is observed as Ram Navami to celebrate the birth of Lord Rama. The worship of Lord Rama dates back to the Pre-Christian era. About keeping strict fast on Ram Navami is mentioned in the Kalika Purana. The Vrata of Ram Navami is considered as one of the five most sacred vratas among Hindus.

Carousing start with prayers to the Sun early in the morning. A special prayer is performed during mid-day, the time when Lord Rama is believed to have been born. People sing and recite devotional songs for Lord Navratri is an auspicious occasion for Vaishnavas (a sect of Hindu who consider Vishnu as their God) who celebrate it with due solemnity. There is a popular belief that Lord Rama full fills one’s dream if he/she prays him on this day of Ram Navami. In some parts of India, it is a nine-day festival coinciding with the Vasanta Navratri. Devotees in large numbers throng to the temples to experience the great celebration. Public gatherings called Satsangs are organized at several places to celebrate the birth of Rama.
