Why is Rama Navami on Thu 10 Apr or Fri 11 Apr in Olean?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Thu 10 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 11:56–14:34. Navami: 07:51 to 07:37 Fri.
Navami ended at 07:37; madhyahna is Dashami.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−4). 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 07:51 on Thu 10 Apr to 07:37 on Fri 11 Apr, so only Thursday’s madhyahna (11:56–14:34) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Fri 11 Apr, at 06:40. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
