About Rama Navami Puja
Rama Navami celebrates the birth of Lord Sri Rama · the 7th avatar of Vishnu · on Chaitra Shukla Navami (9th day of bright fortnight of Chaitra month). Rama embodies Dharma, virtue, and ideal kingship. The festival is especially celebrated in Karnataka with Panakam (jaggery-pepper drink) and Kosambari (lentil salad) as prasad · a uniquely South Indian tradition. Ramayana Parayana (reading) is a key ritual.
When to perform it
Rama Navami falls on Chaitra Shukla Navami · typically in late March or April. The auspicious time is noon (Madhyahna) when Lord Rama was born.
The South Indian procedure
Karnataka and South Indian tradition features Ramanavami procession, Panakam (jaggery-pepper-water), Kosambari (cucumber lentil salad), and Vadapappu (soaked Bengal gram) as prasad. Ram-Sita-Lakshmana cradle swinging (Jhoola Utsav) is popular.
This is the form our pandits follow by default in Bannur Road — Mysore families are overwhelmingly Kannada-tradition. Tell us if your family follows a different sampradaya and we will match a purohit accordingly.

Rama Navami Puja — common questions
What is Panakam and why is it served on Rama Navami?
Panakam is a traditional South Indian drink made from jaggery, black pepper, ginger, and water. It is served as prasad on Rama Navami · its cooling and digestive properties are ideal for the hot April weather, and it is one of Lord Rama's favorite offerings.
Should the puja be done at noon?
Yes, noon (Madhyahna) is the most auspicious time for Rama Navami puja as Lord Rama was born at noon. Our pandit will conduct the main ritual to coincide with the Madhyahna muhurta.
