For the sake of his father's honour, Rama abandons his claim to Ayodhya's throne to serve an exile of fourteen years in the forest.His wife Sita and brother Lakshmana decide to join him and all three spend the fourteen years in exile together. While in exile, Sita is kidnapped by Ravana, the king of Lanka.After a long and arduous search, Rama fights a colossal war against Ravana's armies. In a war of powerful and magical beings, greatly destructive weaponry, and huge battles, Rama slays Ravana in battle and liberates his wife.Having completed his exile, Rama returns to be crowned king in Ayodhya and eventually becomes emperor, He rules with happiness, peace, duty, prosperity, and justice, a period known as Rama Rajya

         Sri Rama Navami is a part of the spring Navratri, and falls on the ninth day of the bright half  in the Hindu calendar month of Chaitra.The day is marked by Rama Katha recitals, or reading of Rama legendary stories. Some Vaishnava Hindus visit a temple, others pray within their home, and some participate in a bhajan or kirtan with music as a part of puja and aarti. Some devotees mark the event by taking miniature statues of the infant Rama, washing it and clothing it, then placing it in a cradle. Charitable events and community meals are also organized.
