Why is Rama Navami on Wed 9 Apr or Thu 10 Apr in Sevan?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Wed 9 Apr: Navami touches madhyahna that day, and no other.
Ashtami until 13:50, inside madhyahna; then Navami. Navami: 13:50 to 11:31 Thu.
Navami ended at 11:31; madhyahna is Dashami. Navami: 13:50 Wed to 11:31.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). 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 13:50 on Wed 9 Apr to 11:31 on Thu 10 Apr, so it touches only Wednesday’s madhyahna (11:43–14:20).
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Thu 10 Apr, at 06:28. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
