Why is Rama Navami on Thu 26 Mar or Fri 27 Mar in Chahārbāgh?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Thu 26 Mar: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 10:58–13:26. Navami: 09:49 to 08:07 Fri.
Navami ended at 08:07; madhyahna is Dashami. Navami: 09:49 Thu to 08:07.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3:30). 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 09:49 on Thu 26 Mar to 08:07 on Fri 27 Mar, so only Thursday’s madhyahna (10:58–13:26) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Fri 27 Mar, at 06:00. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
