Why is Rama Navami on Sun 18 Apr or Mon 19 Apr in Sofia?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Sun 18 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 12:05–14:47. Navami: 07:33 to 09:58 Mon.
Navami ended at 09:58; madhyahna is Dashami.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). 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 07:33 on Sun 18 Apr to 09:58 on Mon 19 Apr, so only Sunday’s madhyahna (12:05–14:47) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Mon 19 Apr, at 06:38. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
