Why is Janmashtami on Mon 30 Aug in Baghlān?
By the Dharmasindhu, Janmashtami is on Mon 30 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:34–00:18 Mon. Ashtami: 22:25 to 01:00 Tue.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:33–00:17 Tue. Ashtami: 22:25 Sun to 01:00 Tue.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4:30). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 22:25 on Sun 29 Aug to 01:00 on Tue 31 Aug, touching nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Dharmasindhu takes the later day: Mon 30 Aug. Every reading takes that day.
