Gog Ram to King Dasharatha and Queen Kausalya in Ayodhya. Ram, the seventh avatar of Vishnu, is one of the oldest avatars of Lord Vishnu having a human form. The holy day falls in the Shukla Paksha on the Navami, the ninth day of the month of Chaitra in the Hindu calendar. Thus it is also known as Chaitra Masa Suklapaksha Navami, and marks the end of the nine-day Chaitra-Navaratri celebrations. Ram navami is one of the most important Hindu festivals. At some places the festival lasts the whole nine days of the Navaratri, thus the period is called 'Sri Ram Navaratra'.
