About Ram Navami
Ram Navami celebrates the birth of Lord Rama, the seventh avatar of Vishnu. It falls on the ninth day of the bright half of Chaitra (Chaitra Shukla Navami) and is also the last day of Chaitra Navratri. Since Rama is traditionally said to have been born at midday, the main puja is done around the Madhyahna Puja Muhurat.

A festival's date follows the tithi in force at the right moment of the local day (sunrise, Pradosh, midnight or moonrise).
