What is Navami?

The ninth lunar day of each fortnight, twice a month. Sri Rama Navami, Rama's birthday, and Saraswathi Pooja in Navarathri both fall on a waxing Navami. Muhurtham rules count Navami among the rikta (empty) thithis, so families keep it for worship and fasting rather than new beginnings.

What can you do on Navami, and what should you put off?

The monthly Navami has no fast or rite of its own. Muhurtham rules count it a rikta thithi, so auspicious beginnings wait for another day and the usual worship goes on. The two great Navamis, Sri Rama Navami and Saraswathi Pooja, have their own pages.

The usual puja and lamp at home
Daily work as usual
The next good day for new beginnings

Avoid: Weddings, housewarmings, a new business and other auspicious beginnings.

Where your family does it differently, follow your family.
