Why is Janmashtami on Mon 30 Aug in Hashima?

Janmashtami is on Mon 30 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 02:55 Mon. Ashtami: 02:55 Mon to 05:30 Tue.

Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:31–00:16 Tue. Ashtami: 02:55 to 05:30 Tue.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+9). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.

Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 02:55 on Mon 30 Aug to 05:30 on Tue 31 Aug, so only Monday night’s nishitha (23:31–00:16 Tue) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.

The rule

Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami (purnimanta) · Shravana Krishna Ashtami (amanta)

Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta.

Smarta: the night whose nishitha Ashtami holds; when it touches both or neither, the later (Dharmasindhu).
Vaishnava: a Ashtami that Saptami does not pierce, read at sunrise: Tithika’s convention.
