Why is Rama Navami on Thu 28 Mar in Pāthardi?
Rama Navami is on Thu 28 Mar: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Madhyahna is Ashtami; Navami begins at 20:13.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 11:20–13:47. Navami: 20:13 Wed to 22:40.
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 20:13 on Wed 27 Mar to 22:40 on Thu 28 Mar, so only Thursday’s madhyahna (11:20–13:47) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
