Difference between Ramnavami and Mahanavami
According to the Hindu calendar, Ram Navami falls in the Shukla Paksha in the month of Chaitra. Lord Rama was born on this day. Chaitra Navratri ends with Ram Navami. According to the English calendar, this festival falls in March-April. At the same time, Mahavanami comes in Shardiya Navratri. Goddess Siddhidatri is worshiped on this day. She is said to be the ninth incarnation of Durga Mata, who killed Mahishasura. The day after Mahanavami, Lord Rama killed Rawadha, which is celebrated as Dussehra or Vijaya Dashami.
