Why is Janmashtami on Tue 20 Aug or Wed 21 Aug in Devadurga?

Smarta · Janmashtami is on Tue 20 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:03 Wed–00:48 Wed. Ashtami: 17:32 to 20:01 Wed.

Ashtami ended at 20:01; nishitha is Navami.

One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.

Smarta

Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 17:32 on Tue 20 Aug to 20:01 on Wed 21 Aug, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (00:03 Wed–00:48 Wed) falls within it.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Wed 21 Aug, at 06:07. 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.
