Why is Janmashtami on Wed 2 Sep or Thu 3 Sep in Codcod?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Wed 2 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:23–00:10 Thu. Ashtami: 17:42 to 18:13 Thu.
Ashtami ended at 18:13; 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 17:42 on Wed 2 Sep to 18:13 on Thu 3 Sep, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (23:23–00:10 Thu) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Thu 3 Sep, at 05:37. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
