Why is Janmashtami on Mon 5 Sep or Tue 6 Sep in Codcod?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Mon 5 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 10:19 Mon.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:22 Tue–01:09 Tue. Ashtami: 10:19 to 12:46 Tue.
Ashtami ended at 12:46; nishitha is Navami.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+9). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 10:19 on Mon 5 Sep to 12:46 on Tue 6 Sep, so only Monday night’s nishitha (00:22 Tue–01:09 Tue) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Tue 6 Sep, at 06:37. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
