Questions
From the Nirṇaya-sindhu pp. 118–120; Dharmasindhu p. 33, with the page for each.
When is Ram Navami 2029?
In Delhi, on Monday, 23 April 2029, with the pūjā at midday, 11:01 – 11:30. In London, New York City, Toronto and Dubai, it is Sunday, 22 April. Nirṇaya-sindhu pp. 118–120
What time is the Ram Navami puja?
At midday, the third fifth of the daytime, while the Navamī runs, since Rāma was born at midday; the arghya is given then. In Delhi in 2029, 11:01 – 11:30. Nirṇaya-sindhu p. 119; Dharmasindhu p. 33
Why is the date different in the US or UK?
Ram Navami is decided by the Navamī at midday at the city. The tithi begins and ends at the same moment everywhere, but sunrise and sunset come at different hours, so a city far to the west or east can keep another day. Nirṇaya-sindhu p. 119
How the day is found
Read the methodology- The day
- The Caitra śukla Navamī covering midday. The earlier day is kept only when its midday alone is covered, and the later day when both middays are covered or neither is. Nirṇaya-sindhu pp. 118–120; Dharmasindhu p. 33.
- Midday
- The third fifth of the daytime (Nirṇaya-sindhu p. 28). The pūjā time is that midday while the Navamī runs.
- Two traditions
- Where the pāraṇa would fall on the Smārtas’ Ekādaśī, Smārtas keep the earlier day and Vaiṣṇavas the later; both are shown.
- Sunrise and sunset
- At the centre of the Sun’s disc, with refraction, for the chosen city. Every date is that city’s own.
