Why is Janmashtami on Fri 5 Sep or Sat 6 Sep in Ipameri?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Fri 5 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:46–00:35 Sat. Ashtami: 18:36 to 20:00 Sat.
Ashtami ended at 20:00; 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 18:36 on Fri 5 Sep to 20:00 on Sat 6 Sep, so only Friday night’s nishitha (23:46–00:35 Sat) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Sat 6 Sep, at 06:16. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
