Why is Janmashtami on Sat 29 Aug or Sun 30 Aug in Myjava?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Sat 29 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:29–00:11 Sun. Ashtami: 23:14 to 21:13 Sun.
Ashtami ended at 21:13; nishitha is Navami. Ashtami: 23:14 Sat to 21:13.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 23:14 on Sat 29 Aug to 21:13 on Sun 30 Aug, so only Saturday night’s nishitha (23:29–00:11 Sun) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Sun 30 Aug, at 05:03. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
