Why is Janmashtami on Thu 17 Aug in Sevan?

Janmashtami is on Thu 17 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 04:00 Thu.

Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:41–00:22 Fri. Ashtami: 04:00 to 02:11 Fri.

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 04:00 on Thu 17 Aug to 02:11 on Fri 18 Aug, so only Thursday night’s nishitha (23:41–00:22 Fri) 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.
