A devotee of this figure is honored in a chālīsā by Tulsīdās. (-5[1])Effigies of this figure’s enemies are burned on Dashahrā (“DUH-sheh-rah”) or Vijayadashamī (“VIJ-juh-yuh-DUH-shuh-mee”) after folk reenactments of this figure’s life called līlā. In March or April, this figure’s Navamī celebrates his birth to Dasharatha and Kausalyā (10[1])(“KAW-sull-yah”). In a fall festival, Hindus light dīyās on their doorsteps to guide this figure home. This figure’s return with his brother and wife to Ayodhyā (“uh-YOAD-yah”) is celebrated during Diwālī.
