Vaishnava · Monday 16 April
Why is Rama Navami on Sun 15 Apr or Mon 16 Apr in Pāthardi?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Sun 15 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 11:14–13:44. Navami: 07:23 to 08:55 Mon.
Navami ended at 08:55; 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 07:23 on Sun 15 Apr to 08:55 on Mon 16 Apr, so only Sunday’s madhyahna (11:14–13:44) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Mon 16 Apr, at 06:11. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
