FIJI,: Hindus around the country celebrated Ram Naumi yesterday after nine days of prayer and fasting. General secretary of the Shri Sanatan Dharm Brahman Purohit Maha Sabha, Kamal Sharma said their message to youths during Ram Naumi this year was to follow the teachings of Lord Rama in their life.

“We learn from the Ramayan that he did not discriminate between people of any race of work of life and we believe that people, especially young people should always accept others as their friends. The question of race, religion and work of life should not matter,” he said.

Devotees marked the end of Ram Naumi yesterday with prayer and offerings to the Deities at their homes and at the temples around the country. While some celebrated it at noon, others marked the end in the evening.
