Smarta · Thursday 4 April
Vaishnava · Friday 5 April
Why is Rama Navami on Thu 4 Apr or Fri 5 Apr in Pāthardi?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Thu 4 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 11:18–13:46. Navami: 08:51 to 08:36 Fri.
Navami ended at 08:36; madhyahna is Dashami.
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 08:51 on Thu 4 Apr to 08:36 on Fri 5 Apr, so only Thursday’s madhyahna (11:18–13:46) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Fri 5 Apr, at 06:20. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
