Why is Janmashtami on Tue 24 Aug or Wed 25 Aug?

In New Delhi

Smarta · Janmashtami is on Tue 24 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:01 Wed–00:45 Wed. Ashtami: 20:25 to 19:20 Wed.

Ashtami ended at 19:20; nishitha is Navami.

One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.

Smarta

Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 20:25 on Tue 24 Aug to 19:20 on Wed 25 Aug, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (00:01 Wed–00:45 Wed) falls within it.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Wed 25 Aug, at 05:55. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami (purnimanta) · Shravana Krishna Ashtami (amanta)

Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta.

Smarta
the night whose nishitha Ashtami holds; when it touches both or neither, the later (Dharmasindhu).
Vaishnava
a Ashtami that Saptami does not pierce, read at sunrise: Tithika’s convention.

Each city’s date and times are worked out at its own sunrise and sunset; each city’s page draws the reason.
