Why is Janmashtami on Fri 3 Sep or Sat 4 Sep in Ipameri?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Fri 3 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:47–00:36 Sat. Ashtami: 14:12 to 16:38 Sat.
Ashtami ended at 16:38; 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 14:12 on Fri 3 Sep to 16:38 on Sat 4 Sep, so only Friday night’s nishitha (23:47–00:36 Sat) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Sat 4 Sep, at 06:17. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
