Ramayana is one of the greatest Hindu epics that hold great religious significance. During the Ramayana Masam, the recitation of Ramayana starts from the first day of the Karkidakam Masam and continues till the last day.

Karkidakam is considered a lean month and is therefore not considered for any auspicious ceremonies like marriages or house warming or start of new projects etc. However, the month is ideal for treatments, pilgrimage and worship.

The rituals of Ramayana masam and reading of Ramayanam during this period should be performed with utmost care, devotion and involves a rigorous routine.
