Why is Rama Navami on Wed 21 Apr in Diffa?
Rama Navami is on Wed 21 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Madhyahna is Ashtami; Navami begins at 20:13.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 10:53–13:23. Navami: 20:13 Tue to 20:05.
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 20:13 on Tue 20 Apr to 20:05 on Wed 21 Apr, so only Wednesday’s madhyahna (10:53–13:23) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
