Why is Janmashtami on Mon 30 Aug in Rustaq?

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, 23:48–00:34 Mon. Ashtami: 21:55 to 00:30 Tue.

Ashtami holds nishitha only until 00:30 Tue; then Navami. Ashtami: 21:55 Sun to 00:30 Tue.

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

Ashtami touches nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Dharmasindhu takes the later day: Mon 30 Aug, where it holds nishitha until 00:30 Tue. 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.
