Why is Janmashtami on Thu 9 Aug in Atliaca?
By the Dharmasindhu, Janmashtami is on Thu 9 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 01:20 Thu–02:05 Thu. Ashtami: 00:40 Thu to 03:11 Fri.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 01:20 Fri–02:05 Fri. Ashtami: 00:40 to 03:11 Fri.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−5). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 00:40 on Thu 9 Aug to 03:11 on Fri 10 Aug, touching nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Dharmasindhu takes the later day: Thu 9 Aug. Every reading takes that day.
