    Shri Ram Navami is one of the biggest festivals for us and also the biggest opportunity to get the blessings of Supreme Lord. All of us must offer our reverence to Bhagvan Shri Ram, who himself is the Supreme Lord Incarnated as Perfect Human(Maryada Purushottam).
    Though most of Hindus are already performing Shri Ram Navami Puja as per their capacity taking the help of appropriate priest.
