Why is Janmashtami on Mon 31 Aug in Sevan?

Janmashtami is on Mon 31 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 02:19 Mon. Ashtami: 02:19 Mon to 01:23 Tue.

Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:38–00:22 Tue. Ashtami: 02:19 to 01:23 Tue.

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 02:19 on Mon 31 Aug to 01:23 on Tue 1 Sep, so only Monday night’s nishitha (23:38–00:22 Tue) 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.
