Why is Janmashtami on Wed 2 Sep or Thu 3 Sep in Ipameri?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Wed 2 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 06:42 Wed.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:47–00:36 Thu. Ashtami: 06:42 to 07:13 Thu.
Ashtami ended at 07:13; 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 06:42 on Wed 2 Sep to 07:13 on Thu 3 Sep, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (23:47–00:36 Thu) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Thu 3 Sep, at 06:18. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
