Why is Janmashtami on Wed 24 Aug in Pāthardi?
By the Dharmasindhu, Janmashtami is on Wed 24 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:09 Wed–00:54 Wed. Ashtami: 23:42 to 01:55 Thu.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:08 Thu–00:54 Thu. Ashtami: 23:42 Tue to 01:55 Thu.
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 23:42 on Tue 23 Aug to 01:55 on Thu 25 Aug, touching nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Dharmasindhu takes the later day: Wed 24 Aug. Every reading takes that day.
