Lord Vishnu took birth as Lord Rama in the world to defeat the Evil Asura Raavan. Since his birth marks the victory of Goodness over evil powers, Ram Navami is celebrated to praise the victory of goodness over the evil powers. 

This festival is celebrated very grandly in Ayodhya, a city in Uttar Pradesh which is the birth place of Lord Rama. 

Lord Rama was considered as the ancestor of Sun Family. People pray to Sun God to get blessings from him. So, early morning, People start this day by offering water (jal) to Sun God. Ayodhya people used to take a dip in the holy river sarayu and then visit the Rama temple.
