Why is Janmashtami on Mon 10 Aug or Tue 11 Aug in Deva?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Mon 10 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:59–00:37 Tue. Ashtami: 22:40 to 23:20 Tue.
Ashtami ended at 23:20; nishitha is Navami. Ashtami: 22:40 Mon to 23:20.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1:44). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 22:40 on Mon 10 Aug to 23:20 on Tue 11 Aug, so only Monday night’s nishitha (23:59–00:37 Tue) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Tue 11 Aug, at 05:06. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
