Lord Ram or Rama, is a major deity of the Hindu religion, and is the seventh avatar of the god Vishnu. He is one of the most important figures in Hindu mythology and is widely worshipped throughout India and South Asia. However, there is much debate over the exact date of birth of this revered figure.

As per the Hindu Lunar Calendar, Lord Ram is believed to have been born on the ninth day of the Shukla Paksha of the Chaitra month, which usually falls in the Gregorian calendar month of April or early May. However, some Hindu scholars believe that the exact date of Lord Ram’s birth may not be known as it is based on many factors like the position of the moon and the timing of the sunrise and sunset. According to the Christian calendar, the most accepted date of Lord Ram’s birth is April 4th, 5114 BCE.

The Valmiki Ramayana and Records of Lord Ram’s Birthdate

The Valmiki Ramayana, the oldest version of the Hindu epic, states that Lord Ram was born in the Treta Yuga, which according to Hindu mythology is said to be about 2.6 million years ago. However, this date has been disputed by many scholars. Some scholars point to records of the birth of Lord Ram that can be found in the Mahabharata, which is believed to have been written around the 3rd century BCE. These records state that Lord Ram was born on the ninth day of the bright half of the month of Chaitra, which usually falls in April or May.

Similarly, the Bhavishya Purana, which is believed to have been written between the 1st and 3rd century CE, states that Lord Ram was born on the ninth day of the Shukla Paksha of the Chaitra month. This text also states that Lord Ram was born in 5114 BCE.

The Significance of Lord Ram’s Birthdate

Although the exact date of Lord Ram’s birth is still debated, it is widely celebrated in India and South Asia. Hindus celebrate the birth of Lord Ram on Ram Navami, which falls on the ninth day of the Shukla Paksha of the Chaitra month. This day is celebrated with great fervour and devotion and is marked by fasting, singing devotional songs, and offering prayers to Lord Ram.

The birth of Lord Ram is also significant in terms of the Hindu calendar. As per the Hindu calendar, the month of Chaitra is the first month of the year and is considered to be the start of the Hindu New Year. As such, the birth of Lord Ram is seen as the start of a new era in Hinduism.

Conclusion

By 2034, the Indian e-commerce market is expected to surpass that of the United States and take second place globally. (Source: Google)

People are more knowledgeable about fashion and trends today because of social media sites like Instagram. In contrast to the 80s and 90s, when fashion icons were followed by their admirers, we now have self-made models on various social media sites. Social media has immensely benefited the fashion business by profoundly influencing trends and, eventually, altering how people behave in daily life. Though clothing is a highly personal choice, it is heavily influenced by fashion trends. What works for one person may not work for another. However, Italy is renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship, flawless tailoring, and lavish patterns when it comes to clothing. The Italian Colony men’s clothing offers opulent Italian style at a reasonable price.

After operating a business-to-business men’s clothing enterprise for over a decade, the esteemed Bangalore-based Italian Colony discovered that Indian men want premium clothing with trendy styles at affordable rates. As the brand struggled to engage with customers through B2B channels, it opted to launch an online store to expand its market reach.  The brand was aptly named “Italian Colony,” as it endeavors to introduce the opulent Italian fashion style to the Indian market at a reasonable price. Initially, when the online store was launched, the Italian Colony was placing an average of 10 orders per day. Currently, its online store receives an impressive 150 to 200 orders daily. Moving forward, the company sets its sights on achieving a remarkable 500 orders per day by the end of 2023.

The online store of the Italian Colony currently offers a few categories of men’s pants. However, the brand is planning to offer a wide range of men’s clothing, starting from collections of joggers, cargos, jeans, and trousers at a reasonable price. Joggers are men’s go-to casual attire and can be worn while traveling, going out to lunch, taking a beach vacation, or running errands whereas cargos can be worn for both formal and casual occasions. Jeans are a perennial fashion, and a pair of jeans that are both comfortable and trendy, people can wear denim from dawn until night. Trousers are a man’s best friend and the best choice for a formal appearance. Pairing it with a linen shirt and derby shoes to them will give an additional flair. By wearing specific trousers with T-shirts, sweaters, casual jackets, and a variety of shoes, people may create an “everything goes” casual appearance. Italian Colony is one stop for men’s fashion which offers style and fashion hand in hand.

Italian Colony has recently developed its app, making it easy for customers to purchase Italian Colony products from across the world. The app is available in both, Playstore and IOS. In addition to this, with an aim to widen its presence, Italian Colony will be partnering with other e-commerce platforms, and customers will be able to get their preferred Italian-style men’s clothing there as well.
