Vaishnava · Wednesday 13 April
Why is Rama Navami on Tue 12 Apr or Wed 13 Apr in Pāthardi?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Tue 12 Apr: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 11:14–13:45. Navami: 08:30 to 10:01 Wed.
Navami ended at 10:01; madhyahna is Dashami. Navami: 08:30 Tue to 10:01.
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 08:30 on Tue 12 Apr to 10:01 on Wed 13 Apr, so only Tuesday’s madhyahna (11:14–13:45) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Wed 13 Apr, at 06:13. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
