Why is Janmashtami on Thu 19 Aug or Fri 20 Aug in Myjava?

Smarta · Janmashtami is on Thu 19 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:33 Fri–01:13 Fri. Ashtami: 20:47 to 21:45 Fri.

Ashtami ended at 21:45; nishitha is Navami.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.

Smarta

Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 20:47 on Thu 19 Aug to 21:45 on Fri 20 Aug, so only Thursday night’s nishitha (00:33 Fri–01:13 Fri) falls within it.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Fri 20 Aug, at 05:49. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami (purnimanta) · Shravana Krishna Ashtami (amanta)

Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta.

Smarta: the night whose nishitha Ashtami holds; when it touches both or neither, the later (Dharmasindhu).
Vaishnava: a Ashtami that Saptami does not pierce, read at sunrise: Tithika’s convention.
