Why is Janmashtami on Thu 11 Aug or Fri 12 Aug in Thazhecode?

Smarta · Janmashtami is on Thu 11 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:08 Fri–00:54 Fri. Ashtami: 12:03 to 14:15 Fri.

Ashtami ended at 14:15; nishitha is Navami.

One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.

Smarta

Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 12:03 on Thu 11 Aug to 14:15 on Fri 12 Aug, so only Thursday night’s nishitha (00:08 Fri–00:54 Fri) falls within it.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Fri 12 Aug, at 06:15. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami (purnimanta) · Shravana Krishna Ashtami (amanta)

Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta.

Smarta: the night whose nishitha Ashtami holds; when it touches both or neither, the later (Dharmasindhu).
Vaishnava: a Ashtami that Saptami does not pierce, read at sunrise: Tithika’s convention.
