Why is Rama Navami on Sun 21 Apr in Diffa?
Rama Navami is on Sun 21 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Madhyahna is Ashtami; Navami begins at 01:05 Sun.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 10:53–13:23. Navami: 01:05 to 23:10.
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 01:05 on Sun 21 Apr to 23:10 on Sun 21 Apr, so only Sunday’s madhyahna (10:53–13:23) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.

Chaitra Shukla Navami
Rama’s birth is celebrated at madhyahna, the middle fifth of the day.
- Smarta
- the day whose madhyahna Navami holds; when it touches both or neither, the later (Dharmasindhu).
- Vaishnava
- a Navami that Ashtami does not pierce, read at sunrise: Tithika’s convention.
