Determining precise birth time of Lord Sri Rama

Abstract

Sage Valmiki in his epic Ramayana has stated that five planets were in exaltation in Lord Sri Rama’s birth chart, but he did not mention the precise birth time. We have calculated avastha due to Moon as explained in Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra and Sage Valmiki’s description of Lord Rama’s birth chart, then compared them with Lord Rama’s characteristics mentioned in Ramayana to determine precise birth time of Lord Sri Rama.
