Why is Janmashtami on Mon 31 Aug or Tue 1 Sep in Codcod?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Mon 31 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 07:19 Mon.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:24–00:10 Tue. Ashtami: 07:19 to 06:23 Tue.
Ashtami ended at 06:23; 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 07:19 on Mon 31 Aug to 06:23 on Tue 1 Sep, so only Monday night’s nishitha (23:24–00:10 Tue) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Tue 1 Sep, at 05:37. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
