Why is Janmashtami on Mon 25 Aug or Tue 26 Aug in Davinópolis?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Mon 25 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:13 Tue–01:01 Tue. Ashtami: 21:30 to 19:26 Tue.
Ashtami ended at 19:26; nishitha is Navami.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 21:30 on Mon 25 Aug to 19:26 on Tue 26 Aug, so only Monday night’s nishitha (00:13 Tue–01:01 Tue) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Tue 26 Aug, at 06:38. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
