Ram Janmotsav Celebrated with Religious Fervor Across Mithilanchal Region

Mahottari. Ram Janmotsav is being celebrated today with great fanfare across the Mithilanchal region through various religious rituals. Special religious programs have commenced in the monasteries, temples, and shrines of the Mithila region.

Specifically, continuous Ram Naam Sankirtan and Ramlila enactments are taking place in the monasteries of the Ramanuja Sampradaya, while Ram Bhajans are resonating throughout the villages and towns.

"Shri Ram is not just an object of worship, but is revered as the son-in-law of Mithila," said Mahanta Ravindradas Vaishnav of the Lakshminarayan Math, adding, "This is why Ram Navami is a distinct festival of Mithila."

Recitations of the Ramayana, Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran, and Sundarkand Path are ongoing in the Ram Janaki temples across Mithilanchal. Devotees are also observing fasts. Mahanta Vaishnav stated that the incarnation of Ram in the Treta Yuga, among the 24 avatars of Lord Vishnu, is considered especially significant.

He further mentioned that stories related to Shri Ram's arrival in Mithila, Sita's Swayamvar, marriage, and subsequent travels across various regions also make this festival special here.
