Smarta · Saturday 5 April
Vaishnava · Sunday 6 April
Why is Rama Navami on Sat 5 Apr or Sun 6 Apr in Cuenca?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Sat 5 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 11:06–13:30. Navami: 08:56 to 08:53 Sun.
Navami ended at 08:53; madhyahna is Dashami.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−5). 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 08:56 on Sat 5 Apr to 08:53 on Sun 6 Apr, so only Saturday’s madhyahna (11:06–13:30) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Sun 6 Apr, at 06:16. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
