Why is Rama Navami on Thu 26 Mar or Fri 27 Mar in Shkodër?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Thu 26 Mar: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 10:33–13:02. Navami: 07:19 to 05:37 Fri.
Navami ended at 05:37; madhyahna is Dashami.
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 07:19 on Thu 26 Mar to 05:37 on Fri 27 Mar, so only Thursday’s madhyahna (10:33–13:02) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Fri 27 Mar, at 05:33. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
