Smarta · Thursday 5 April
Vaishnava · Friday 6 April
Why is Rama Navami on Thu 5 Apr or Fri 6 Apr in Codcod?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Thu 5 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 10:36–13:03. Navami: 06:59 to 09:22 Fri.
Navami ended at 09:22; madhyahna is Dashami. Navami: 06:59 Thu to 09:22.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). 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 06:59 on Thu 5 Apr to 09:22 on Fri 6 Apr, so only Thursday’s madhyahna (10:36–13:03) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Fri 6 Apr, at 05:42. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
