Bubaneswar: Thousands of devotees thronged temples across the State on the holy occasion of Ram Navami on Tuesday.
Musical recitals of Ramcharitmanas and Ram Katha Amrit were organised in the Twin cities of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack to celebrate the birth anniversary of the legendary king of Ayodhya.
In the capital city, Ram Navami was celebrated with gaiety and fervour at Ram Mandir, as hundreds of devotees came to offer their prayers to Lord Ram, Lakshman and Devi Sita.
Meanwhile, a day after being stationed at the Badhaebanka Chhack due to a snag in the wheel, the Rukuna Rath resumed its journey on Tuesday and reached Mausima Mandir.
Ram Navami falls on the ninth day of the Hindu lunar year and is celebrated as the birth day of Lord Rama, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu.
