Why is Janmashtami on Tue 26 Aug in Pāthardi?

Janmashtami is on Tue 26 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 05:25 Tue.

Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:59–00:45 Wed. Ashtami: 05:25 to 03:21 Wed.

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

Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 05:25 on Tue 26 Aug to 03:21 on Wed 27 Aug, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (23:59–00:45 Wed) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.

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.
