When is Rama Navami 2001 in Diffa?
Rama Navami madhyahna muhurat: what time?
Why is Rama Navami on Mon 2 Apr in Diffa?
Rama Navami is on Mon 2 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Madhyahna is Ashtami; Navami begins at 22:54.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 10:59–13:26. Navami: 22:54 Sun to 20:47.
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 22:54 on Sun 1 Apr to 20:47 on Mon 2 Apr, so only Monday’s madhyahna (10:59–13:26) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.

- a Navami that Ashtami does not pierce, read at sunrise: Tithika’s convention.
