Why is Rama Navami on Sat 31 Mar in Olean?
Rama Navami is on Sat 31 Mar: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 12:01–14:34. Navami: 04:12 to 04:38 Sun.
Navami ended at 04:38; madhyahna is Dashami.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−4). 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 04:12 on Sat 31 Mar to 04:38 on Sun 1 Apr, so only Saturday’s madhyahna (12:01–14:34) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
