Smarta · Saturday 1 April
Vaishnava · Sunday 2 April
Why is Rama Navami on Sat 1 Apr or Sun 2 Apr in Pāthardi?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Sat 1 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 12:19–14:47. Navami: 07:52 to 09:57 Sun.
Navami ended at 09:57; madhyahna is Dashami.
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 07:52 on Sat 1 Apr to 09:57 on Sun 2 Apr, so only Saturday’s madhyahna (12:19–14:47) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Sun 2 Apr, at 07:22. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
