Why is Janmashtami on Fri 19 Aug or Sat 20 Aug in Myjava?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Fri 19 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 09:51 Fri.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:33–00:13 Sat. Ashtami: 09:51 to 08:04 Sat.
Ashtami ended at 08:04; nishitha is Navami.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 09:51 on Fri 19 Aug to 08:04 on Sat 20 Aug, so only Friday night’s nishitha (23:33–00:13 Sat) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Sat 20 Aug, at 04:47. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
