Why is Rama Navami on Sun 30 Mar or Mon 31 Mar in Pāthardi?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Sun 30 Mar: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 11:20–13:47. Navami: 08:42 to 06:36 Mon.
Navami ended at 06:36; 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 08:42 on Sun 30 Mar to 06:36 on Mon 31 Mar, so only Sunday’s madhyahna (11:20–13:47) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Mon 31 Mar, at 06:25. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
