Why is Janmashtami on Tue 11 Aug or Wed 12 Aug in Codcod?

Smarta · Janmashtami is on Tue 11 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:29–00:15 Wed. Ashtami: 11:37 to 13:46 Wed.

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.

Smarta

Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 11:37 on Tue 11 Aug to 13:46 on Wed 12 Aug, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (23:29–00:15 Wed) falls within it.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Wed 12 Aug, at 05:37. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami (purnimanta) · Shravana Krishna Ashtami (amanta)

Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta.

Smarta: the night whose nishitha Ashtami holds; when it touches both or neither, the later (Dharmasindhu).
Vaishnava: a Ashtami that Saptami does not pierce, read at sunrise: Tithika’s convention.
