Why is Janmashtami on Fri 27 Aug or Sat 28 Aug in Codcod?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Fri 27 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:25–00:11 Sat. Ashtami: 15:37 to 15:40 Sat.
Ashtami ended at 15:40; 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 15:37 on Fri 27 Aug to 15:40 on Sat 28 Aug, so only Friday night’s nishitha (23:25–00:11 Sat) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Sat 28 Aug, at 05:37. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
