Why is Janmashtami on Thu 28 Aug or Fri 29 Aug in Codcod?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Thu 28 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:25–00:11 Fri. Ashtami: 19:46 to 17:36 Fri.
Ashtami ended at 17:36; 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 19:46 on Thu 28 Aug to 17:36 on Fri 29 Aug, so only Thursday night’s nishitha (23:25–00:11 Fri) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Fri 29 Aug, at 05:37. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
