Ramayana is a famous epic. Valmeki, who lived in the fourth century B.C., was the author of the original version of the Ramayana.

According to history, King Dasharatha of Ayodhya had three wives, but they were childless for many years. King Dasharatha grew quite concerned as a result. Vasishta, a famous sage, instructed him to carry out Puthra Kamesti Yagna, the sacred rite carried out to produce a child.

The renowned sage Maharshi Rushya Shrunga completed the rite and handed over a bowl of payasam (a dish made of milk and rice) and instructed the king’s wives to share the food.

Kausalya, the oldest queen, gave birth to Lord Shri Ram after nine months, Kaikeyi to Bharata, and Sumitra to twins Lakshman and Shatrughna. According to Hindu mythology, Lord Rama was born on the Ram Navami Tithi of Chaitra Shukla Paksha. The village of Ayodhya celebrated the birth of Lord Ram on this day, which was one of the most important ceremonies ever held. They had no idea that the new born son of Kausalya, was God himself, living among them.
