Why is Janmashtami on Sat 6 Sep or Sun 7 Sep in Myjava?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Sat 6 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 07:54 Sat.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:26 Sun–01:09 Sun. Ashtami: 07:54 to 06:31 Sun.
Ashtami ended at 06:31; nishitha is Navami.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 07:54 on Sat 6 Sep to 06:31 on Sun 7 Sep, so only Saturday night’s nishitha (00:26 Sun–01:09 Sun) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Sun 7 Sep, at 06:14. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
