Why is Rama Navami on Wed 30 Mar or Thu 31 Mar in Sevan?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Wed 30 Mar: Navami touches madhyahna that day, and no other.
Ashtami until 11:56, inside madhyahna; then Navami. Navami: 11:56 to 09:57 Thu.
Navami ended at 09:57; madhyahna is Dashami. Navami: 11:56 Wed to 09:57.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). 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 11:56 on Wed 30 Mar to 09:57 on Thu 31 Mar, so it touches only Wednesday’s madhyahna (11:49–14:20).
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Thu 31 Mar, at 06:46. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
