Ram Navami 2027 date and Navami tithi
Ram Navami 2027: Thursday, 15 April 2027
Ram Navami celebrates the birth of Lord Rama on Chaitra Shukla Navami, at midday. In 2027 Navami tithi runs from 3:23 PM on 14 April to 1:20 PM on 15 April (New Delhi). Navami begins after midday on the 14th, while on the 15th it is both the sunrise tithi and present during the madhyahna (midday) period, so Smarta and Vaishnava (ISKCON) traditions both observe Ram Navami on Thursday, 15 April.
