Ramayan week begins

Ramayan Week is
a Hindu observance, typically in late March or early April, leading up to Rama Navami (Lord Rama’s birthday), where devotees read the epic Ramayana, sing bhajans, and attend spiritual discourses to prepare for the festival, often involving fasting and specific diets for spiritual purification. It’s a time for reflection on Lord Rama’s life, emphasizing themes of leadership and healthy relationships, with temples hosting continuous recitations (Akhand Path) of the Ramcharitmanas or Valmiki Ramayana.
