Why is Janmashtami on Sun 20 Aug in Sevan?

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

Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 03:18 Sun.

Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:40–00:22 Mon. Ashtami: 03:18 to 04:33 Mon.

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 03:18 on Sun 20 Aug to 04:33 on Mon 21 Aug, so only Sunday night’s nishitha (23:40–00:22 Mon) 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.
