Śrī Rāma Navami is the glorious appearance day of Lord Ramacandra. Lord Rāma descended along with His plenary portions, who appeared as His younger brothers. In the month of Caitra on the ninth day of the growing moon in the Tretā-yuga, the Lord appeared, as usual, to establish the principles of religion and to annihilate the disturbing elements.

“O Keśava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari, who haze assumed the form of Rāmacandra! All glories to You! In the battle of Laṅkā You destroy the ten-headed demon Rāvaṇa and distribute his heads as a delightful offering to the presiding deities of the ten directions, headed by Indra. This action was long desired by all of them, who were much harassed by this monster.”
– (Daśāvatāra-stotra)
Śrīla Prabhupāda writes in his commentary to the Srimad-Bhagavatam:
“The Supreme Personality of Godhead incarnated Himself as Sri Rama, appearing as the son of His pure devotee Maharaja Dasharatha, the King of Ayodhya.”
