Why is Rama Navami on Sat 30 Mar or Sun 31 Mar in Sevan?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Sat 30 Mar: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 11:49–14:20. Navami: 08:19 to 08:58 Sun.
Navami ended at 08:58; madhyahna is Dashami.
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 08:19 on Sat 30 Mar to 08:58 on Sun 31 Mar, so only Saturday’s madhyahna (11:49–14:20) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Sun 31 Mar, at 07:45. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
