Why is Janmashtami on Thu 10 Aug or Fri 11 Aug in Codcod?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Thu 10 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha that night, and no other.
Saptami until 00:37 Fri, inside nishitha; then Ashtami. Ashtami: 00:37 Fri to 23:15 Fri.
Ashtami ended at 23:15; nishitha is Navami. Ashtami: 00:37 to 23:15.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+9). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 00:37 on Fri 11 Aug to 23:15 on Fri 11 Aug, so it touches only Thursday night’s nishitha (00:29 Fri–01:15 Fri).
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Fri 11 Aug, at 06:37. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
