Why is Janmashtami on Sun 30 Aug or Mon 31 Aug in Ipameri?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Sun 30 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:48–00:37 Mon. Ashtami: 20:19 to 19:23 Mon.
Ashtami ended at 19:23; nishitha is Navami.
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 20:19 on Sun 30 Aug to 19:23 on Mon 31 Aug, so only Sunday night’s nishitha (23:48–00:37 Mon) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Mon 31 Aug, at 06:20. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
