In his message, Shekhawat reminded the nation that Lord Ram had been immortalised as 'Maryada Purushottam', the embodiment of righteousness and high moral values.

"The high standards of moral conduct and ideals followed by him are a timeless beacon to the entire humanity. Ram Navami reminds us of the greatness of Lord Ram's life and ideals."

Shekhawat said that the auspicious occasion provided an opportunity for the people to imbibe Lord Ram's enlightened teachings, which have the power to secure peace and harmony in a world torn by strife, and inspire them to work for the welfare of the poor and downtrodden.

Ram Navami falls on the ninth day of the bright fortnight of the month of Chaitra (March-April) in the Hindu calendar.
