Why is Rama Navami on Sat 26 Mar in Pāthardi?
Rama Navami is on Sat 26 Mar: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Madhyahna is Ashtami; Navami begins at 23:00.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 11:21–13:48. Navami: 23:00 Fri to 01:02 Sun.
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 23:00 on Fri 25 Mar to 01:02 on Sun 27 Mar, so only Saturday’s madhyahna (11:21–13:48) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
