When is Rama Navami 2016 in Olean?
Rama Navami madhyahna muhurat: what time?
Why is Rama Navami on Fri 15 Apr in Olean?
By the Dharmasindhu, Rama Navami is on Fri 15 Apr: Navami touches madhyahna on both days and it takes the later.
Ashtami until 11:59, inside madhyahna; then Navami. Navami: 11:59 to 12:33 Fri.
Navami holds madhyahna only until 12:33; then Dashami. Navami: 11:59 Thu to 12:33.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−4). 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: Fri 15 Apr, where it holds madhyahna until 12:33. 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.
