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, 00:12 Mon–00:57 Mon. Ashtami: 23:25 to 02:00 Tue.

One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 23:25 on Sun 29 Aug to 02:00 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.
