Why is Rama Navami on Fri 15 Apr or Sat 16 Apr in Bothell?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Fri 15 Apr: Navami touches madhyahna that day, and no other.
Ashtami until 13:03, inside madhyahna; then Navami. Navami: 13:03 to 10:45 Sat.
Navami ended at 10:45; madhyahna is Dashami. Navami: 13:03 Fri to 10:45.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−8). 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 13:03 on Fri 15 Apr to 10:45 on Sat 16 Apr, so it touches only Friday’s madhyahna (10:47–13:31).
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Sat 16 Apr, at 05:18. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
