Rama Navami madhyahna muhurat: what time?
Why is Rama Navami on Wed 21 Apr in Maputsoe?
Rama Navami is on Wed 21 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Madhyahna is Ashtami; Navami begins at 21:13.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 10:59–13:14. Navami: 21:13 Tue to 21:05.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+2). 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 21:13 on Tue 20 Apr to 21:05 on Wed 21 Apr, so only Wednesday’s madhyahna (10:59–13:14) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
