When is Rama Navami 1981 in Diffa?
Rama Navami madhyahna muhurat: what time?
Why is Rama Navami on Sun 12 Apr in Diffa?
Rama Navami is on Sun 12 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Madhyahna is Ashtami; Navami begins at 23:52.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 10:56–13:24. Navami: 23:52 Sat to 23:47.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). 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 23:52 on Sat 11 Apr to 23:47 on Sun 12 Apr, so only Sunday’s madhyahna (10:56–13:24) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
