In Hinduism
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
Source: Pure Bhakti: Brhad BhagavatamrtamRāmanavamī (रामनवमी) refers to:—The appearance day of Śrī Rāma which occurs on the ninth day of the light lunar fortnight of the month of Caitra (March-April). (cf. Glossary page from Śrī Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta).
Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu’).
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsRāmanavamī (रामनवमी) or Śrīrāmanavamī refers to “Rāma’s birthday celebrations”, as discussed in the twenty-fifth chapter of the Agastyasaṃhitā (agastya-suīkṣṇa-saṃvāda edition), an ancient Pāñcarātra Āgama text dealing with the worship of Rāma, Sītā, Lakṣmaṇa and Hanumān.—[Cf. the chapter śrī-rāmanavamī-praśaṃsā]:—Every year in the caitra-month. on the ninth day when the constellation Punarvasu is there, the birthday of Rāma is to be remembered. Fasting and a vigil should be observed on the “ninth day,” as well as tarpaṇa-rites. Those who break the fast enjoined will go to hell. Alms-giving is also to be practised On the following day ( i.e., the “tenth day”), Rāma and His retinue should be meditated upon with the dvādaśa-mantra, and then worshipped thrice along with the aṣṭākṣara-mantra. Such muttering of these powerful mantras is itself sufficient to yield great results. [...]
Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pāñcarātra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.

India history and geography
Source: archive.org: South Indian FestivitiesRama Navami.—Sri Rama Navami is the anniversary of the birth of Sri Rama celebrated by the Hindu devotees in the month of Chaitra ( March-April) on the ninth day of the bright fortnight when the asterism Punavasu (Geminorum) is in the ascendancy. The observance of this Vratha is said to absolve one from all sins. Men of all grades and ranks including Kings observe this Vratha for obtaining prosperity, long life, happiness and wisdom. We may say that the festival is universally observed, and Sri Rama is worshipped inevery conceivable manner.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
