Why is Janmashtami on Wed 23 Aug or Thu 24 Aug in Codcod?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Wed 23 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:26–00:13 Thu. Ashtami: 15:39 to 13:46 Thu.
Ashtami ended at 13:46; nishitha is Navami.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 15:39 on Wed 23 Aug to 13:46 on Thu 24 Aug, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (23:26–00:13 Thu) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Thu 24 Aug, at 05:37. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
