Why is Janmashtami on Wed 29 Aug in Codcod?

Janmashtami is on Wed 29 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 00:47 Wed. Ashtami: 00:47 Wed to 23:29 Wed.

Ashtami holds nishitha only until 23:29; then Navami. Ashtami: 00:47 to 23:29.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.

Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 00:47 on Wed 29 Aug to 23:29 on Wed 29 Aug, so it touches only Wednesday night’s nishitha (23:24–00:11 Thu). 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.
