Why is Janmashtami on Wed 31 Aug or Thu 1 Sep in Codcod?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Wed 31 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 09:44 Wed.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:24–00:10 Thu. Ashtami: 09:44 to 10:37 Thu.
Ashtami ended at 10:37; nishitha is Navami.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 09:44 on Wed 31 Aug to 10:37 on Thu 1 Sep, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (23:24–00:10 Thu) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Thu 1 Sep, at 05:37. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
