Why is Rama Navami on Mon 26 Mar or Tue 27 Mar in Pāthardi?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Mon 26 Mar: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 11:22–13:48. Navami: 10:21 to 10:06 Tue.
Navami ended at 10:06; madhyahna is Dashami. Navami: 10:21 Mon to 10:06.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). 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 10:21 on Mon 26 Mar to 10:06 on Tue 27 Mar, so only Monday’s madhyahna (11:22–13:48) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Tue 27 Mar, at 06:28. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
