Why is Rama Navami on Sat 27 Mar or Sun 28 Mar in Olean?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Sat 27 Mar: Navami touches madhyahna that day, and no other.
Ashtami until 12:44, inside madhyahna; then Navami. Navami: 12:44 to 11:52 Sun.
Navami ended at 11:52; madhyahna is Dashami. Navami: 12:44 Sat to 11:52.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−5). 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 12:44 on Sat 27 Mar to 11:52 on Sun 28 Mar, so it touches only Saturday’s madhyahna (11:04–13:34).
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Sun 28 Mar, at 07:03. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
