Why is Janmashtami on Mon 26 Aug in Chahārbāgh?

Janmashtami is on Mon 26 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 01:39 Mon. Ashtami: 01:39 Mon to 00:20 Tue.

Ashtami holds nishitha only until 00:20 Tue; then Navami. Ashtami: 01:39 to 00:20 Tue.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3:30). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.

Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 01:39 on Mon 26 Aug to 00:20 on Tue 27 Aug, so it touches only Monday night’s nishitha (23:46–00:30 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.
