Smarta · Saturday 8 April
Vaishnava · Sunday 9 April
Why is Rama Navami on Sat 8 Apr or Sun 9 Apr in Pāthardi?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Sat 8 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 11:16–13:45. Navami: 10:36 to 08:33 Sun.
Navami ended at 08:33; 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 10:36 on Sat 8 Apr to 08:33 on Sun 9 Apr, so only Saturday’s madhyahna (11:16–13:45) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Sun 9 Apr, at 06:16. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
