Why is Rama Navami on Sun 22 Apr or Mon 23 Apr in Diffa?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Sun 22 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 10:53–13:23. Navami: 08:24 to 07:00 Mon.
Navami ended at 07:00; madhyahna is Dashami. Navami: 08:24 Sun to 07:00.
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 08:24 on Sun 22 Apr to 07:00 on Mon 23 Apr, so only Sunday’s madhyahna (10:53–13:23) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Mon 23 Apr, at 05:52. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
