Why is Janmashtami on Mon 11 Aug or Tue 12 Aug in Ipameri?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Mon 11 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:52–00:42 Tue. Ashtami: 22:34 to 22:31 Tue.
Ashtami ended at 22:31; nishitha is Navami. Ashtami: 22:34 Mon to 22:31.
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 22:34 on Mon 11 Aug to 22:31 on Tue 12 Aug, so only Monday night’s nishitha (23:52–00:42 Tue) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Tue 12 Aug, at 06:33. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
