Chaitra Shukla Navami (madhyahna observance) · Deity: Rama
Thursday, April 15, 2027
Panchang that morning (IST): Shukla Navami tithi · Pushya pada 4 · Moon in Cancer
Ram Navami celebrates the birth of Lord Rama at midday in Ayodhya, closing the nine nights of Chaitra Navratri. Rama’s life as maryada purushottama — the ideal of dharma lived under constraint — is the meditation of the day.
The birth moment is honored at madhyahna (midday), with Ramayana recitation, bhajans, and cradle ceremonies for infant Rama. Many observe a fast until the midday puja.
The madhyahna window is computed from local sunrise and sunset — roughly the middle fifth of your local day — so the puja time differs by city.
