Rama Navami madhyahna muhurat: what time?
Why is Rama Navami on Sun 7 Apr in Pāthardi?
Rama Navami is on Sun 7 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Madhyahna is Ashtami; Navami begins at 21:30.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 11:16–13:46. Navami: 21:30 Sat to 22:03.
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 21:30 on Sat 6 Apr to 22:03 on Sun 7 Apr, so only Sunday’s madhyahna (11:16–13:46) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
