Why is Janmashtami on Sun 19 Aug or Mon 20 Aug in Myjava?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Sun 19 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 08:58 Sun.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:33 Mon–01:13 Mon. Ashtami: 08:58 to 10:12 Mon.
Ashtami ended at 10:12; nishitha is Navami.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+2). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 08:58 on Sun 19 Aug to 10:12 on Mon 20 Aug, so only Sunday night’s nishitha (00:33 Mon–01:13 Mon) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Mon 20 Aug, at 05:49. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
