Why is Janmashtami on Sun 18 Aug or Mon 19 Aug in Khmelnytskyi?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Sun 18 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 09:02 Sun.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:56 Mon–01:35 Mon. Ashtami: 09:02 to 08:34 Mon.
Ashtami ended at 08:34; nishitha is Navami.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+2). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 09:02 on Sun 18 Aug to 08:34 on Mon 19 Aug, so only Sunday night’s nishitha (00:56 Mon–01:35 Mon) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Mon 19 Aug, at 06:09. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
