Why is Rama Navami on Sun 5 Apr or Mon 6 Apr in Davinópolis?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Sun 5 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 11:26–13:50. Navami: 10:09 to 07:54 Mon.
Navami ended at 07:54; madhyahna is Dashami.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Madhyahna. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
Rama’s birth is celebrated at madhyahna, the middle fifth of the day. Navami runs from 10:09 on Sun 5 Apr to 07:54 on Mon 6 Apr, so only Sunday’s madhyahna (11:26–13:50) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Mon 6 Apr, at 06:37. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
