Why is Janmashtami on Mon 4 Sep or Tue 5 Sep in Codcod?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Mon 4 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 08:42 Mon.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:22–00:09 Tue. Ashtami: 08:42 to 11:00 Tue.
Ashtami ended at 11:00; nishitha is Navami.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 08:42 on Mon 4 Sep to 11:00 on Tue 5 Sep, so only Monday night’s nishitha (23:22–00:09 Tue) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Tue 5 Sep, at 05:37. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
