Why is Rama Navami on Tue 16 Apr or Wed 17 Apr in Diffa?

Smarta · Rama Navami is on Tue 16 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.

Navami holds all of madhyahna, 10:54–13:24. Navami: 08:54 to 10:44 Wed.

Navami ended at 10:44; madhyahna is Dashami. Navami: 08:54 Tue to 10:44.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Madhyahna. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.

Smarta

Rama’s birth is celebrated at madhyahna, the middle fifth of the day. Navami runs from 08:54 on Tue 16 Apr to 10:44 on Wed 17 Apr, so only Tuesday’s madhyahna (10:54–13:24) falls within it.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Wed 17 Apr, at 05:55. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

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.
