Why is Rama Navami on Fri 15 Apr in Sofia?
Rama Navami is on Fri 15 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Madhyahna is Ashtami; Navami begins at 18:59.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 12:06–14:47. Navami: 18:59 Thu to 19:33.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). 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 18:59 on Thu 14 Apr to 19:33 on Fri 15 Apr, so only Friday’s madhyahna (12:06–14:47) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
