The BAPS Hindu Mandir in Abu Dhabi hosted a grand celebration on Sunday to mark the birth anniversaries of Lord Ram and  Lord Swaminarayan. The celebration drew tens of thousands of devotees and well-wishers from across the UAE, making it one of the biggest spiritual events of the year.

Pujya Brahmavihari Swami, the lead sadhu at the temple, said the day was filled with a vibrant mix of devotional prayers, cultural performances, and community gatherings, highlighting the virtues and teachings of the two revered holy figures. The celebrations included a wide range of events throughout the day, offering both spiritual reflection and joyous community engagement.

The day began with devotional songs (Ram bhajans) and the celebration of Lord Ram’s birth (Shri Ram Janmotsav), bringing together devotees in prayer and worship, followed by the Shri Ram Janmotsav Aarti, a sacred and unifying ritual that honoured the birth of Lord Ram. Later, a culturally rich presentation was held near the temple’s Ganga Ghat. Youth performers from the community showcased their talents through traditional dances that depicted the inspiring life of Lord Ram, focussed on his righteousness, compassion, and devotion. The evening culminated with a special assembly and celebration of Shri Ram Janmotsav, bringing the community together in spiritual reflection and devotion.

The celebration also honoured the birth of Lord Swaminarayan with a special evening assembly. The Shri Hari Janmotsav Aarti was performed to commemorate his life and teachings.
