Why is Janmashtami on Wed 22 Aug or Thu 23 Aug in Codcod?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Wed 22 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 07:13 Wed.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:26–00:13 Thu. Ashtami: 07:13 to 05:47 Thu.
Ashtami ended at 05:47; 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 07:13 on Wed 22 Aug to 05:47 on Thu 23 Aug, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (23:26–00:13 Thu) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Thu 23 Aug, at 05:37. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
