Shree Raama Navami

According to the almanac published by the maadhwa community to which I belong, today is the birthday of Shree Raam and is celebrated as Shree Raama Navami. It is celebrated by Hindus not only in India, the birth place of Shree Ram and Nepal, the birth place of Seeta Devee, but also in countries such as Trinidad where there are Hindus of Indian origin.
