Why is Janmashtami on Wed 27 Aug in Myshkin?
By the Dharmasindhu, Janmashtami is on Wed 27 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 01:09 Wed–01:47 Wed. Ashtami: 23:28 to 01:51 Thu.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 01:08 Thu–01:47 Thu. Ashtami: 23:28 Tue to 01:51 Thu.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 23:28 on Tue 26 Aug to 01:51 on Thu 28 Aug, touching nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Dharmasindhu takes the later day: Wed 27 Aug. Every reading takes that day.
