Why is Janmashtami on Wed 28 Aug in Sevan?
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, 00:40 Wed–01:23 Wed. Ashtami: 00:36 Wed to 02:40 Thu.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:39 Thu–01:22 Thu. Ashtami: 00:36 to 02:40 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 00:36 on Wed 28 Aug to 02:40 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.
