Rama Navami madhyahna muhurat: what time?
Why is Rama Navami on Fri 11 Apr in Pāthardi?
Rama Navami is on Fri 11 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Madhyahna is Ashtami; Navami begins at 17:21.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 11:15–13:45. Navami: 17:21 Thu to 17:07.
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 17:21 on Thu 10 Apr to 17:07 on Fri 11 Apr, so only Friday’s madhyahna (11:15–13:45) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
