Rama Navami madhyahna muhurat: what time?
Why is Rama Navami on Wed 16 Apr in Pāthardi?
By the Dharmasindhu, Rama Navami is on Wed 16 Apr: Navami touches madhyahna on both days and it takes the later.
Ashtami until 11:29, inside madhyahna; then Navami. Navami: 11:29 to 13:47 Wed.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 11:13–13:44. Navami: 11:29 Tue to 13:47.
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 11:29 on Tue 15 Apr to 13:47 on Wed 16 Apr, touching madhyahna on both days. When it does, the Dharmasindhu takes the later day: Wed 16 Apr. Every reading takes that day.
