Why is Janmashtami on Tue 16 Aug or Wed 17 Aug in Split?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Tue 16 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:38 Wed–01:19 Wed. Ashtami: 00:36 Wed to 22:56 Wed.
Ashtami ended at 22:56; nishitha is Navami. Ashtami: 00:36 to 22:56.
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 00:36 on Wed 17 Aug to 22:56 on Wed 17 Aug, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (00:38 Wed–01:19 Wed) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Wed 17 Aug, at 06:01. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
