Sita Navami in 2027
Sita Navami falls on 14 May 2027, a Friday in 2027.
Puja muhurat (madhyahna (midday))
On 14 May 2027, the madhyahna (midday) puja window runs 10:56 AM to 1:39 PM (New Delhi). The window is cut from your city's own sunrise, so it shifts by some minutes elsewhere.
What Sita Navami is
Sita's appearance day, kept on the ninth of Vaishakha Shukla - one lunar month after Ram Navami, and fixed at midday for the same reason.
How this date was worked out
The rule: Navami tithi of the Shukla paksha in purnimanta Vaishakha, prevailing at madhyahna (midday). The date is derived from the panchang - the same computation that drives this site's daily pages. Note that the day is fixed by the tithi running during the observance window, not the one at sunrise; that is why several festivals land on a day whose sunrise tithi is something else entirely.
Regional variation
These dates are computed for New Delhi and follow the north-Indian (purnimanta) convention. Tamil, Bengali and Kerala traditions differ on several festivals, and a tithi boundary falling near a window edge can shift the day for a distant city. Check a local panchang before committing to a fast or an event.
