Smarta · Monday 8 April
Vaishnava · Tuesday 9 April
Why is Rama Navami on Mon 8 Apr or Tue 9 Apr in Pāthardi?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Mon 8 Apr: Navami touches madhyahna that day, and no other.
Ashtami until 13:04, inside madhyahna; then Navami. Navami: 13:04 to 10:50 Tue.
Navami ended at 10:50; madhyahna is Dashami. Navami: 13:04 Mon to 10:50.
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 13:04 on Mon 8 Apr to 10:50 on Tue 9 Apr, so it touches only Monday’s madhyahna (11:16–13:46).
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Tue 9 Apr, at 06:17. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
