Why is Rama Navami on Thu 2 Apr in Diffa?
Rama Navami is on Thu 2 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Madhyahna is Ashtami; Navami begins at 23:10.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 10:59–13:26. Navami: 23:10 Wed to 22:13.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). 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 23:10 on Wed 1 Apr to 22:13 on Thu 2 Apr, so only Thursday’s madhyahna (10:59–13:26) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.

Chaitra Shukla Navami

- 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.
