Ram Navami is celebrated throughout Nepal and India by Hindus to commemorate the Hero of Treta Yug, Lord Rama, born to King Dashrath and his first wife Queen Kaushlya of Ayodhya, a city in present-day India. Bhajans (devotional songs) praising the exploits of Lord Rama, his loyal brother Lakshmana and his devoted wife Sita are sung.
