Rama Navami is the day on which Lord Rama, the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu, incarnated in human form in the land of Ayodhya. He is the ardha ansh of Vishnu or has half the divinitive qualities of Lord Vishnu. The word “Rama” literally means one who is divinely blissful and who gives joy to others, and one in whom the sages rejoice.
Ram Navami falls on the ninth day of the bright fortnight in the month of Chaitra (April/May) (8 days after Yugādi) and coincides with Vasant Navratri or Chait Durga Puja. Therefore in some regions, the festival is spread over nine days. This day, marking the birthday of Lord Rama, is also observed as the marriage day of Rama and Sita and thus also referred to as Kalyanotsavam
Lord Rama was born in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. He was the eldest son of King Dasharatha and Kaushalya. To fulfill his father’s promise, he abandoned his kingdom and left for the forest along with his wife and brother. His wife, Seeta, was forcefully abducted by Ravana and kept in prison. With the help of the army of apes, Lord Rama defeated Ravana and freed his wife and other prisoners.
As Lord Rama was believed to be born at mid-day, a special prayer is performed at this time on the day of Shri Ram Navami. People sing devotional songs in praise of Rama and rock the cradle withholding the image of Lord Rama as a child. Chariot processions of images of Lord Rama are held from many temples. Lots of people observe fast on this day. This festival is celebrated for nine days at some places in India. Bhajans and Kirtans (devotional songs of God) are held for nine days. Food and clothes are donated on this day as the donation is considered as a good Karma by Hinduism.
The festival is celebrated greatly at the birthplace of Lord Rama, Ayodhya. Thousands of people bathe in the river Sharayu on this occasion. Lord Rama is one of the most popular deities of Hindus. He is an ideal for all Hindu society because of his characteristics like righteousness, honesty, an ideal king, an ideal son, and remaining honest with his wife only. He inherits the Sun dynasty.

Traditions of Ram Navami
Rama was the seventh incarnation of Vishnu. He was the hero of the Ramayana, the ancient Sanskrit epic.
A continuous recital of the book takes place during the month of Chaitra prior to the celebration. On Ram Navami itself, the highlights of the story are read in the temple.
Houses are thoroughly cleaned on Rama Navami and a family shrine may be decorated with small statues of Rama. Offerings of flowers and fruit are placed on the shrine and prayers are recited after an early bath.
To mark the day, followers of Hinduism may fast or restrict themselves to a specific diet and won't eat certain foods like onions, garlic, and wheat products.
The celebrations at key places associated with Sri Rama, such as Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh and Ramesvaram in Tamil Nadu can attract thousands of devotees.
In some parts of India, there is a tradition of tying an earthen pot full of money on top of a tree and local youths form teams to try and claim the pot.
It isn't as easy as it sounds; the base of the tree is covered with soft mud. And while the teams try to reach the top of the tree by forming human pyramids, the onlookers are shooting water jets at them.
The tradition is similar to 'vutti' which takes place during Janmashtami.
Madhya Pradesh Festival emulates the festive fervour that runs through the veins of India. Bounded by five different states, this land of contrasts has absorbed a little culture and tradition from each, and yet has an identity wholly its own. This aspect is most evident in its festivals. While Madhya Pradesh also celebrates pan-Indian festivals such as Holi, Dussehra, Id and Diwali with fervour, there are several festivals, both religious and cultural, which are exclusive to the state. Considering their sheer number, odds are that tourists will get to participate in or experience at least one while visiting MP.
