Why is Janmashtami on Sun 1 Sep or Mon 2 Sep in Codcod?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Sun 1 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:23–00:10 Mon. Ashtami: 15:08 to 13:19 Mon.
Ashtami ended at 13:19; 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 15:08 on Sun 1 Sep to 13:19 on Mon 2 Sep, so only Sunday night’s nishitha (23:23–00:10 Mon) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Mon 2 Sep, at 05:37. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
