On April 6, 2023 (Sunday), Ram Navami was celebrated nationwide with great devotion and enthusiasm. This significant festival holds deep meaning for many individuals, as it embodies a strong emotional connection to spirituality and cultural heritage. Families and communities came together to honor Lord Rama, participating in a variety of vibrant festivities that symbolize peace and prosperity. The rituals performed during Ram Navami include intricate ceremonies and offerings, which highlight the reverence for Lord Rama and serve to strengthen the bonds of faith and unity among devotees. Actor Abhishek Sharma who plays the lead in Zee TV’s Vasudha reminisces his sweet memories of the festival.
He says, “Ram Navami has always been close to my heart. Since childhood, I have seen my family wake up early, perform puja, and offer prasad. The atmosphere at home is filled with devotion as we sing bhajans and seek Lord Ram’s blessings.”
On his earnest desire, Abhishek says, “This year, I truly wished to visit Ayodhya and witness the divine celebrations after the completion of the Ram Mandir. But due to my shooting schedule, I won’t be able to travel.”
He adds on, “However, I ensure to stay connected with my faith in my own way—there is a small temple on my way to the Vasudha set in Film City, and I make it a point to visit it in the morning. I wish everyone a blessed and joyous Ram Navami!”
