Why is Rama Navami on Sun 13 Apr or Mon 14 Apr in Sevan?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Sun 13 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 12:41–15:20. Navami: 10:55 to 10:08 Mon.
Navami ended at 10:08; madhyahna is Dashami. Navami: 10:55 Sun to 10:08.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+5). 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 10:55 on Sun 13 Apr to 10:08 on Mon 14 Apr, so only Sunday’s madhyahna (12:41–15:20) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Mon 14 Apr, at 07:22. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
