Why is Rama Navami on Thu 9 Apr or Fri 10 Apr in Polatlı?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Thu 9 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 10:32–13:08. Navami: 07:42 to 10:18 Fri.
Navami ended at 10:18; madhyahna is Dashami. Navami: 07:42 Thu to 10:18.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1:56). 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 07:42 on Thu 9 Apr to 10:18 on Fri 10 Apr, so only Thursday’s madhyahna (10:32–13:08) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Fri 10 Apr, at 05:19. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
