There is confusion over whether Ram Navami falls on March 26 or 27 this year. According to Hindu calendar, the Navami tithi of the Shukla Paksha will begin at 11:46 am on March 26, 2026, and continue until 10:07 am on March 27, 2026. Therefore, those following the “Udaya Tithi” (sunrise-based) tradition will observe the festival on March 27.
