Why is Janmashtami on Wed 3 Sep or Thu 4 Sep in Myjava?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Wed 3 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:27 Thu–01:10 Thu. Ashtami: 14:50 to 15:59 Thu.
Ashtami ended at 15:59; 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 14:50 on Wed 3 Sep to 15:59 on Thu 4 Sep, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (00:27 Thu–01:10 Thu) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Thu 4 Sep, at 06:11. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
