When is Ram Navami 2026: Why is there confusion between the two dates of March 26 and 27?
Ram Navami is celebrated every year on the ninth date of Chaitra Shukla Paksha. But this time Navami is divided into tithis, due to which a situation of confusion has arisen. Navami Tithi is starting from 11:48 am on 26th March and will continue till the morning of 27th March i.e. Navami Tithi is falling on both the days, hence people are getting confused.
Which day is 26th or 27th March right to perform Ram Navami 2026 puja?
According to religious belief, Lord Shri Ram was born in the mid-day (afternoon). Therefore, the day on which Navami Tithi falls in the afternoon is considered the most important. Navami tithi is present on 26th March 2026 in the afternoon. Therefore this day will be celebrated as main Ram Navami.
Will Ram Navami be celebrated on March 27 also?
Yes, this time Ram Navami 2026 will be celebrated on both 26th and 27th March. This is because some people perform puja and fast on the basis of Uday Tithi (date of sunrise). The morning of 27th March will also be Navami Tithi, hence many devotees can keep fast on this day but according to the scriptures, the importance of Ram’s birth is related to the mid-day period, hence only 26th March will be considered important.
