Ram Navami 2022: Puja vidhi, samagri, timings, mantra, and muhurat

According to Drik Panchang, Lord Ram was born during the madhyanha period — the middle of the day. It prevails for six ghatis (approximately 2 hours and 24 minutes), and is the most auspicious time to perform puja rituals.

Temples mark this moment as one when the Lord was born, thereby chanting his name during this time. Ayodhya was the erstwhile kingdom where he was born, and Ram Navami celebrations here are splendid and grand. Devotees visit the city from different parts of the country, and also take a holy dip in river Sarayu before offering prayers.

The puja begins with meditation in front of an idol of Lord Ram, after which several mantras are chanted. After the God is invoked, five flowers are placed between the palms, and a mantra is chanted, after which the flowers are put in front of the idol.

Then, the God is offered water to wash his feet, head, and for sipping. After this, honey and milk are offered to him, followed by water for bathing. After this, he is offered new clothes, scent, and flowers. In the end, naivedya, fruits, betel leaf and dakshina are offered. This is followed by aarti.
