Why is Janmashtami on Tue 10 Aug or Wed 11 Aug in Codcod?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Tue 10 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 10:23 Tue.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:29–00:15 Wed. Ashtami: 10:23 to 12:06 Wed.
Ashtami ended at 12:06; 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 10:23 on Tue 10 Aug to 12:06 on Wed 11 Aug, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (23:29–00:15 Wed) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Wed 11 Aug, at 05:37. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
