the story
On Chaitra Shukla Navami, at midday, Rama was born to Kausalya in Ayodhya. The day crowns the nine of Chaitra Navratri.
how it’s kept
Fast and read the Ramayana; at noon, rock Rama's cradle and sing of his birth.
A fast is one way of keeping the day, never the only one — observe as your health and heart allow.
