Smarta · Friday 3 April
Vaishnava · Saturday 4 April
Why is Rama Navami on Fri 3 Apr or Sat 4 Apr in Codcod?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Fri 3 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 10:37–13:04. Navami: 09:32 to 07:32 Sat.
Navami ended at 07:32; madhyahna is Dashami.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). 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 09:32 on Fri 3 Apr to 07:32 on Sat 4 Apr, so only Friday’s madhyahna (10:37–13:04) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Sat 4 Apr, at 05:42. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
