Why is Janmashtami on Thu 20 Aug or Fri 21 Aug in Myjava?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Thu 20 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:33 Fri–01:12 Fri. Ashtami: 00:03 Fri to 23:47 Fri.
Ashtami ended at 23:47; nishitha is Navami. Ashtami: 00:03 to 23:47.
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 00:03 on Fri 21 Aug to 23:47 on Fri 21 Aug, so only Thursday night’s nishitha (00:33 Fri–01:12 Fri) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Fri 21 Aug, at 05:50. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
