Rama is a major deity in Hinduism who is worshipped as one of the most popular avatars of Vishnu, specifically identified as his seventh avatar. In Rama-centric Hindu traditions, he is regarded as the Supreme Being and is also revered as the ideal man. He serves as the male protagonist of the Hindu epic Ramayana.
The birth of Rama is celebrated annually on the festival of Rama Navami. This holiday occurs on the ninth day of the bright half of the lunar cycle in the month of Chaitra, which typically falls between March and April in the Hindu calendar.
