Why is Rama Navami on Fri 25 Mar or Sat 26 Mar in Sevan?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Fri 25 Mar: Navami touches madhyahna that day, and no other.
Ashtami until 11:46, inside madhyahna; then Navami. Navami: 11:46 to 09:48 Sat.
Navami ended at 09:48; madhyahna is Dashami. Navami: 11:46 Fri to 09:48.
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 11:46 on Fri 25 Mar to 09:48 on Sat 26 Mar, so it touches only Friday’s madhyahna (10:50–13:18).
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Sat 26 Mar, at 05:52. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
