Why is Janmashtami on Wed 26 Aug or Thu 27 Aug in Ipameri?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Wed 26 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:49–00:39 Thu. Ashtami: 23:16 to 21:01 Thu.
Ashtami ended at 21:01; nishitha is Navami. Ashtami: 23:16 Wed to 21:01.
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 23:16 on Wed 26 Aug to 21:01 on Thu 27 Aug, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (23:49–00:39 Thu) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Thu 27 Aug, at 06:23. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
