Ram Navami 2027: The Computed Date, Tithi and Muhurat

By Dr. R.P. Sharma, Vedic astrologer since 1979 · timings computed on real sidereal positions

Ram Navami 2027 falls on Thursday, 15 April 2027. The governing tithi — Chaitra Shukla Navami, the birth of Shri Rama — runs from 14-04-2027 15:24 IST to 15-04-2027 13:21 IST, computed from the ephemeris with the Lahiri ayanamsa, the way a Panchang actually derives it. The observance follows madhyahna (midday).

How the day is kept

The madhyahna puja — midday, the traditional birth-moment — anchors the day, with path of the Ramayana and, in many homes, kanya-pujan concluding the Chaitra Navratri.

Why the tithi window matters more than the date

A Hindu festival is not a civil date; it is a tithi caught at a particular quality of time — madhyahna (midday) here. When the tithi straddles two days, the rule decides the day, which is why two neighbouring calendars sometimes disagree while both cite the same sky. The window printed above is the actual astronomy; the rule applied to it is the tradition. Together they give you the answer the forwards never explain. For the method itself, see our muhurat & festivals guide.
