Why is Rama Navami on Mon 30 Mar or Tue 31 Mar in Pāthardi?
Smarta · Rama Navami is on Mon 30 Mar: Navami holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Navami holds all of madhyahna, 11:19–13:47. Navami: 10:30 to 08:44 Tue.
Navami ended at 08:44; 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 10:30 on Mon 30 Mar to 08:44 on Tue 31 Mar, so only Monday’s madhyahna (11:19–13:47) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Rama Navami on a tithi that Ashtami does not pierce: Navami holds sunrise on Tue 31 Mar, at 06:23. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
