Why is Rama Navami on Wed 25 Mar or Thu 26 Mar in Pāthardi?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Wed 25 Mar: Navami touches madhyahna that day, and no other.
Ashtami until 11:36, inside madhyahna; then Navami. Navami: 11:36 to 10:02 Thu.
Navami ended at 10:02; madhyahna is Dashami. Navami: 11:36 Wed to 10:02.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). 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 11:36 on Wed 25 Mar to 10:02 on Thu 26 Mar, so it touches only Wednesday’s madhyahna (11:22–13:48).
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Thu 26 Mar, at 06:28. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
