Why is Rama Navami on Sat 17 Apr or Sun 18 Apr in Sevan?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Sat 17 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 10:39–13:20. Navami: 09:36 to 07:15 Sun.
Navami ended at 07:15; madhyahna is Dashami.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). 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 09:36 on Sat 17 Apr to 07:15 on Sun 18 Apr, so only Saturday’s madhyahna (10:39–13:20) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Sun 18 Apr, at 05:17. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
