Rama Navami
Rama Navami , the appearance anniversary of Lord Rama, is very popular in India where many people are devotees of Lord Ramacandra. Similarly in ISKCON temples where Lord Rama is worshipped many people will gather to celebrate.

Lord Rama is the incarnation of Lord Krishna as the perfect monarch. He enacts His lila, or pastime, of killing Ravana and establishing virtue, by personal example, throughout His kingdom. The epic story of His transcendental adventures is told in the scripture Ramayana in which one reads of His unfailing devotion to His wife Sita and Their affectionate dealings with Lord Rama's many family members, particularly His devoted Brother, Laksmana.

 

Other festivals are also held to celebrate different events in the life of Lord Ramacandra, such is His vast popularity and fame.
