Rama Navami madhyahna muhurat: what time?
Why is Rama Navami on Sun 1 Apr in Pāthardi?
By the Dharmasindhu, Rama Navami is on Sun 1 Apr: Navami touches madhyahna on both days and it takes the later.
Ashtami until 13:42, inside madhyahna; then Navami. Navami: 13:42 to 14:08 Sun.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 11:19–13:47. Navami: 13:42 Sat to 14:08.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). 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 13:42 on Sat 31 Mar to 14:08 on Sun 1 Apr, touching madhyahna on both days. When it does, the Dharmasindhu takes the later day: Sun 1 Apr. Every reading takes that day.
