Why is Janmashtami on Wed 28 Aug in Khmelnytskyi?
By the Dharmasindhu, Janmashtami is on Wed 28 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:53 Wed–01:34 Wed. Ashtami: 23:36 to 01:40 Thu.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:52 Thu–01:34 Thu. Ashtami: 23:36 Tue to 01:40 Thu.
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 23:36 on Tue 27 Aug to 01:40 on Thu 29 Aug, touching nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Dharmasindhu takes the later day: Wed 28 Aug. Every reading takes that day.
