Ram Navami Puja Vidhi

Every home and family performs a simple puja, starting early in the morning. For people who do Navratri fasting and break the fast on Navami, they also do Kanya Pujan, inviting little Kanjaks to their homes, feeding them with poori, halwa, and chhole, and also offering them gifts.

Usually, in communities and colonies, there will be a recital of Ramayan or Ramcharitmanas, and one seat is kept empty for Lord Hanuman, as it's believed that Hanuman is present in every space where the name of Lord Ram is taken.
