Why is Janmashtami on Tue 5 Sep or Wed 6 Sep in Codcod?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Tue 5 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 08:48 Tue.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:22–00:09 Wed. Ashtami: 08:48 to 06:37 Wed.
Ashtami ended at 06:37; 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 08:48 on Tue 5 Sep to 06:37 on Wed 6 Sep, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (23:22–00:09 Wed) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Wed 6 Sep, at 05:37. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
