Why is Janmashtami on Wed 20 Aug or Thu 21 Aug in Myshkin?

Smarta · Janmashtami is on Wed 20 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:11 Thu–00:48 Thu. Ashtami: 19:38 to 17:33 Thu.

Ashtami ended at 17:33; nishitha is Navami.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.

Smarta

Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 19:38 on Wed 20 Aug to 17:33 on Thu 21 Aug, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (00:11 Thu–00:48 Thu) falls within it.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Thu 21 Aug, at 05:03. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami (purnimanta) · Shravana Krishna Ashtami (amanta)

Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta.

Smarta: the night whose nishitha Ashtami holds; when it touches both or neither, the later (Dharmasindhu).
Vaishnava: a Ashtami that Saptami does not pierce, read at sunrise: Tithika’s convention.
