Why is Janmashtami on Thu 31 Aug or Fri 1 Sep in Codcod?

Smarta · Janmashtami is on Thu 31 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 09:53 Thu.

Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:24–00:10 Fri. Ashtami: 09:53 to 07:46 Fri.

Ashtami ended at 07:46; nishitha is Navami.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.

Smarta

Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 09:53 on Thu 31 Aug to 07:46 on Fri 1 Sep, so only Thursday night’s nishitha (23:24–00:10 Fri) falls within it.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Fri 1 Sep, at 05:37. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami (purnimanta) · Shravana Krishna Ashtami (amanta)

Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta.

Smarta: the night whose nishitha Ashtami holds; when it touches both or neither, the later (Dharmasindhu).
Vaishnava: a Ashtami that Saptami does not pierce, read at sunrise: Tithika’s convention.
