Why is Janmashtami on Tue 28 Aug or Wed 29 Aug in Ipameri?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Tue 28 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:49–00:38 Wed. Ashtami: 19:35 to 21:07 Wed.
Ashtami ended at 21:07; nishitha is Navami. Ashtami: 19:35 Tue to 21:07.
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 19:35 on Tue 28 Aug to 21:07 on Wed 29 Aug, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (23:49–00:38 Wed) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Wed 29 Aug, at 06:21. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
