Rama Navami madhyahna muhurat: what time?
Why is Rama Navami on Mon 3 Apr in Apache Junction?
Rama Navami is on Mon 3 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Madhyahna is Ashtami; Navami begins at 23:30.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 11:13–13:45. Navami: 23:30 Sun to 21:37.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−7). 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 23:30 on Sun 2 Apr to 21:37 on Mon 3 Apr, so only Monday’s madhyahna (11:13–13:45) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
