Why is Janmashtami on Tue 18 Aug or Wed 19 Aug in Devadurga?

Smarta · Janmashtami is on Tue 18 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:03 Wed–00:48 Wed. Ashtami: 15:04 to 14:57 Wed.

Ashtami ended at 14:57; 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 15:04 on Tue 18 Aug to 14:57 on Wed 19 Aug, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (00:03 Wed–00:48 Wed) falls within it.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Wed 19 Aug, at 06:06. 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.
