सीता नवमी मंत्र

Sita Navami (सीता नवमी) — also called Janaki Navami — celebrates the appearance of Mata Sita, the daughter of King Janaka and divine consort of Lord Ram, the very embodiment of devotion, purity and forbearance. It falls on the Navami of the bright fortnight of Vaishakha. Married women keep a vrat on this day for the long life and well-being of their husband.
