Why is Janmashtami on Fri 6 Sep or Sat 7 Sep in Ipameri?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Fri 6 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 11:21 Fri.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:46–00:34 Sat. Ashtami: 11:21 to 09:47 Sat.
Ashtami ended at 09:47; nishitha is Navami.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 11:21 on Fri 6 Sep to 09:47 on Sat 7 Sep, so only Friday night’s nishitha (23:46–00:34 Sat) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Sat 7 Sep, at 06:14. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
