Rama was the eldest son of the King of Ayodhya, Dasarath and Queen Kausalya. He is regarded as one of the incarnations of Hindu God Vishnu. The great Indian epic Ramayana is based on the life and hardship of Lord Rama.
The birth anniversary of Lord Rama is celebrated as Ramanavami in the Hindu month of Chaitra (March-April). In South India, offerings to the deity include sugar candy, a sweet drink called Panagam, and a few spring products. Sometimes, the orthodox people observe a fast on Ramanavami.
