Why is Rama Navami on Sun 16 Apr or Mon 17 Apr in Sevan?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Sun 16 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 11:40–14:20. Navami: 07:04 to 09:05 Mon.
Navami ended at 09:05; madhyahna is Dashami. Navami: 07:04 Sun to 09:05.
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 07:04 on Sun 16 Apr to 09:05 on Mon 17 Apr, so only Sunday’s madhyahna (11:40–14:20) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Mon 17 Apr, at 06:19. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
