Hyderabad: Ram Navami is a Hindu festival that is observed on the ninth day of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Chaitra (Hindu calendar). It is also celebrated to mark the birth of Lord Rama, the reincarnation of God Vishnu as the Rama avatar. On this day, people keep fast and perform the Kanya Pujan. And as you know any festival is incomplete without food. So, let’s take a look at festive dishes you can relish after performing traditional rituals.
