Why is Janmashtami on Tue 22 Aug or Wed 23 Aug in Davinópolis?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Tue 22 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:48–00:36 Wed. Ashtami: 11:53 to 13:27 Wed.
Ashtami ended at 13:27; 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 11:53 on Tue 22 Aug to 13:27 on Wed 23 Aug, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (23:48–00:36 Wed) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Wed 23 Aug, at 06:13. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
