Why is Janmashtami on Fri 26 Aug or Sat 27 Aug in Ipameri?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Fri 26 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha that night, and no other.
Saptami until 00:28 Sat, inside nishitha; then Ashtami. Ashtami: 00:28 Sat to 22:26 Sat.
Ashtami ended at 22:26; nishitha is Navami. Ashtami: 00:28 to 22:26.
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 00:28 on Sat 27 Aug to 22:26 on Sat 27 Aug, so it touches only Friday night’s nishitha (23:43–00:32 Sat).
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Sat 27 Aug, at 06:17. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
