In Hinduism, the festival of Ram Navami is considered very special and important; It is celebrated every year on the ninth date (Navmi Tithi) of *Shukla Paksha* (waxing phase of the moon) of Chaitra month. According to Drik Panchang, both Mahanavami and Ram Navami will be celebrated tomorrow i.e. on 27th March. On this auspicious occasion, Lord Rama is worshiped with full rituals and ceremonies; However, it is believed that bringing certain special things home on this day increases the auspicious benefits of the festival. It is said that these things bring happiness and peace in the house, and also remove negativity. So let us know which things are considered auspicious to bring home on Ram Navami.
basil plant
According to religious beliefs, Lord Rama is considered to be the incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Therefore, bringing home the *Tulsi* (holy basil) plant—which is extremely dear to Lord Vishnu—on Ram Navami is considered extremely auspicious. It is believed that by installing it inside the house, positive energy increases and there is continuous happiness and prosperity in the family.
shell
Bringing conch shell at home on Ram Navami and using it during worship is also considered auspicious. The resonating sound of the conch purifies the environment of the house and drives away negative energy. Furthermore, it is also believed to attract the divine grace of Goddess Lakshmi.
Picture of ‘Ram Darbar’
On this day, it is considered extremely auspicious to bring home a picture or idol of the ‘Ram Darbar’—which involves Lord Ram, Goddess Sita, Lord Lakshman and Lord Hanuman. Installing this holy image in the home is believed to increase love and unity among family members, and ensure the constant presence of divine blessings.
Shri Ram Yantra
Installing *Shri Ram Yantra* on Ram Navami is also considered a beneficial practice. It is believed that doing this maintains the flow of positive energy inside the house and provides protection from ‘evil eye’ (*Buri Nazar*) and other negative influences. It is also said that this improves mutual coordination and understanding among family members.
silver coin
On this day, bringing a silver coin home and offering it to Lord Rama is considered an auspicious act. It is believed that performing this ritual improves the financial condition of a person and brings favorable results in various aspects of life. Additionally, it is also considered helpful in reducing the astrological defects (*Doshas*) associated with the Moon.
