Why is Janmashtami on Thu 14 Aug or Fri 15 Aug in Ipameri?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Thu 14 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 10:49 Thu.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:52–00:42 Fri. Ashtami: 10:49 to 10:12 Fri.
Ashtami ended at 10:12; nishitha is Navami.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 10:49 on Thu 14 Aug to 10:12 on Fri 15 Aug, so only Thursday night’s nishitha (23:52–00:42 Fri) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Fri 15 Aug, at 06:31. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
