Important if you are coordinating with family in India:
Rama Navami falls on April 14, 2027 in Edison NJ, but on April 15, 2027 in India.
Hindu observances are tied to the tithi at your local sunrise (or to a local moment such as sunset or midnight),
so the calendar date legitimately shifts by a day across time zones. Both are correct for their own location.
What Rama Navami means
Religious significance
The birthday of Lord Rama, seventh avatar of Vishnu, born at noon in Ayodhya to King Dasharatha and Queen Kausalya. Devotees fast, recite the Ramayana and Rama Raksha Stotra, and perform Rama’s puja at the midday muhurat shown here, often with a tiny cradle for the infant Rama.
Cultural significance
Concludes the nine-day Chaitra Navratri. Ayodhya, Bhadrachalam and Rameswaram hold vast celebrations; South Indian temples perform Sita-Rama Kalyanam (celestial wedding). Ratha yatras (chariot processions) with Rama, Sita, Lakshmana and Hanuman wind through many towns.
Good to know
Panakam (jaggery-pepper drink) and neer mor are traditional offerings in the South. Reading or hearing the Rama-katha today is considered especially meritorious.
