Why is Janmashtami on Mon 15 Aug or Tue 16 Aug in Myjava?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Mon 15 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha that night, and no other.
Saptami until 00:52 Tue, inside nishitha; then Ashtami. Ashtami: 00:52 Tue to 23:07 Tue.
Ashtami ended at 23:07; nishitha is Navami. Ashtami: 00:52 to 23:07.
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 00:52 on Tue 16 Aug to 23:07 on Tue 16 Aug, so it touches only Monday night’s nishitha (00:34 Tue–01:13 Tue).
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Tue 16 Aug, at 05:44. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
