Why is Janmashtami on Sun 27 Aug or Mon 28 Aug in Ipameri?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Sun 27 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:49–00:38 Mon. Ashtami: 13:32 to 15:28 Mon.
Ashtami ended at 15:28; 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 13:32 on Sun 27 Aug to 15:28 on Mon 28 Aug, so only Sunday night’s nishitha (23:49–00:38 Mon) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Mon 28 Aug, at 06:23. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
