Why is Janmashtami on Tue 24 Aug or Wed 25 Aug in Ipameri?
Smarta · Janmashtami is on Tue 24 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 11:55 Tue.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:50–00:39 Wed. Ashtami: 11:55 to 10:50 Wed.
Ashtami ended at 10:50; 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 11:55 on Tue 24 Aug to 10:50 on Wed 25 Aug, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (23:50–00:39 Wed) falls within it.
Vaishnavas keep Janmashtami on a tithi that Saptami does not pierce: Ashtami holds sunrise on Wed 25 Aug, at 06:25. Reading the Vaishnava rule by sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
