Madhyahna is Ashtami; Navami begins at 18:23.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 11:19–13:47. Navami: 18:23 Mon to 20:10.

Rama’s birth is celebrated at madhyahna, the middle fifth of the day. Navami runs from 18:23 on Mon 29 Mar to 20:10 on Tue 30 Mar, so only Tuesday’s madhyahna (11:19–13:47) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
