Why is Janmashtami on Wed 26 Aug in Sevan?

By the Dharmasindhu, Janmashtami is on Wed 26 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.

Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:41 Wed–01:23 Wed. Ashtami: 22:49 to 01:15 Thu.

Ashtami holds nishitha only until 01:15 Thu; then Navami. Ashtami: 22:49 Tue to 01:15 Thu.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.

Ashtami touches nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Dharmasindhu takes the later day: Wed 26 Aug, where it holds nishitha until 01:15 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.
