Why is Rama Navami on Tue 16 Apr or Wed 17 Apr in Codcod?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Tue 16 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 10:32–13:01. Navami: 09:01 to 07:07 Wed.
Navami ended at 07:07; madhyahna is Dashami.
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 09:01 on Tue 16 Apr to 07:07 on Wed 17 Apr, so only Tuesday’s madhyahna (10:32–13:01) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Wed 17 Apr, at 05:35. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
