Like most of the Hindu festivals,
fasting holds special significance in the celebrations of Ram Navami too. It is
believed that when a devotee observes fast on Rama Navami, with sincerity and
immense devotion, he/she is blessed with health, wealth and prosperity for the
year ahead. Therefore, it has been a tradition since a long time to observe
fast on the festival. This perception has been supported by the ancient
religious texts of Hinduism, according to which, fasting is the only mean of
gaining happiness it the material world and achieving salvation at the same
time. Moreover, Rama Navami vrat is considered as the five of the most
important fasts in the ancient times
