રામ નવમી વસંત ઋતુમાં આવતો હિન્દૂ તહેવાર છે, જે ભગવાન રામનો જન્મદિન છે. વિષ્ણુના સાતમા અવતાર તરીકે, તે હિંદુ ધર્મનો મહત્વનો તહેવાર છે. ભારતના ઘણાં રાજ્યોમાં રામનવમીની જાહેર રજા રખાય છે.

આ દિવસ ઘણી જગ્યાએ રામકથાના પઠન-પાઠન દ્વારા ઉજવાય છે. ભારતીય પરંપરા દ્વારા રામાયણ અને મહાભારતને ઇતીહાસ​ માનવામાં આવે છે. લોકો રામમંદિરોમાં પૂજન-અર્ચન, દર્શનાર્થે જાય છે. અથવા ઘરમાં પૂજા-અર્ચના પણ કરે છે. રામની બાલમૂર્તિની સેવા-પૂજા તથા પારણાનાં દર્શન પણ કરાય છે. ઘણાં લોકો આ દિવસ વ્રત-ઉપવાસ પણ કરે છે.
