Rama Navami madhyahna muhurat: what time?
Why is Rama Navami on Sun 1 Apr in Chahārbāgh?
By the Dharmasindhu, Rama Navami is on Sun 1 Apr: Navami touches madhyahna on both days and it takes the later.
Ashtami until 12:42, inside madhyahna; then Navami. Navami: 12:42 to 13:08 Sun.
Navami holds madhyahna only until 13:08; then Dashami. Navami: 12:42 Sat to 13:08.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4:30). Band: the tithi. Box: Madhyahna. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
Navami touches madhyahna on both days. When it does, the Dharmasindhu takes the later day: Sun 1 Apr, where it holds madhyahna until 13:08. Every reading takes that day.
The rule
Chaitra Shukla Navami
Rama’s birth is celebrated at madhyahna, the middle fifth of the day.
- Smarta
- the day whose madhyahna Navami holds; when it touches both or neither, the later (Dharmasindhu).
- Vaishnava
- a Navami that Ashtami does not pierce, read at sunrise: Tithika’s convention.
