Ram Navami was celebrated with great enthusiasm and devotion on Wednesday at Ram temple across the state.  Devotees thronged the temples to celebrate the birth of lord Ram. Worshipper offered prayers and sought blessings from the Lord. 

 Ram Navami is a Hindu festival that celebrates the birth of Ram, one of the most popularly revered deities in Hinduism, also known as the seventh avatar of Vishnu. He is often held as an emblem within Hinduism for being an ideal king and human through his righteousness, good conduct and virtue.  

Extending Ram Navami's wishes, one devotee from Bhatlem said, “Today in the entire world Ram Navami is being celebrated with great pomp and joy. Similarly, we have come here at Bhatlem Ram Mandir which has the significance of being here for more than 150 years. Every year we come here to celebrate Ram Navami and I feel honoured to do the cradle ceremony of Lord Ram.”

Places like Bhatlem, Pernem, and other places in Goa celebrated in full swing and joy. Temples witnessed maha pooja followed by the Palki procession of lord Ram and the performance of devotional songs.
