Ram Navami 2027: The Computed Date, Tithi and Muhurat
Quick answer: Ram Navami 2027 is on Thursday, 15 April 2027. Computed tithi window 14-04-2027 15:24–15-04-2027 13:21 IST, madhyahna (midday) rule, traditions and muhurat.
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 this date is fixed
Hindu observances are set by the panchang, not the Gregorian calendar — which is why the date moves each year and can fall a day either side of India for families abroad.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Festival | Ram Navami |
| Fixed by | Chaitra Shukla Navami |
| Observance note | Rama's birth, observed at midday (madhyahna) |
| Why the date moves | A tithi is a precise instant; which local date it lands on depends on your time zone |
| Abroad | Use your own city's panchang rather than converting the Indian date |
| Muhurat | Depends on local sunrise or sunset, which varies far more than the tithi itself |
Ram Navami 2027 madhyahna muhurat by city
The madhyahna is the middle fifth of the daytime, sunrise to sunset. Because the Navami tithi ends at 1:21 PM IST on 15 April 2027, the puja window below is cut off at that moment wherever midday runs later. Local sunrise and sunset as published panchangs print them; the Navami end time is from the Swiss Ephemeris.
| City | Sunrise | Sunset | Puja window (within Navami) | Midday moment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New Delhi | 5:56 AM | 6:46 PM | 11:04 AM – 1:21 PM | 12:21 PM |
| Mumbai | 6:21 AM | 6:55 PM | 11:23 AM – 1:21 PM | 12:38 PM |
| Kolkata | 5:17 AM | 5:56 PM | 10:20 AM – 12:52 PM | 11:36 AM |
| Chennai | 5:56 AM | 6:21 PM | 10:54 AM – 1:21 PM | 12:09 PM |
| Bengaluru | 6:07 AM | 6:32 PM | 11:05 AM – 1:21 PM | 12:19 PM |

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.
