Over the past 16 years, this festival, organised by the Sri Sri Ram Navami Shobhayatra Abhinandan Committee, Dak Bungalow Chowk (Sri Ram Chowk), has emerged as a powerful symbol of faith, discipline, and public participation."
He further highlighted the growth of the Ram Navami procession, saying, "Beginning in 2010 with just 8 tableaux, this procession has, by the year 2026, expanded its divine reach to every corner of Patna with more than 52 magnificent tableaux. This year too, this grand procession is being held in its historic form, and your participation will make it even more dignified."
Ram Navami is the day when Lord Rama appeared in his human and divine form, and is celebrated with great reverence and festivities all over India, but especially in the sacred city of Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh.
Leading up to Ram Navami, Hindus observe the 9-day fast during the Chaitra Navaratri, which consists of abstinence from alcohol, smoking, consumption of sattvic vegetarian food and immersing oneself in prayer and meditation to let the body go through a process of detoxification.
