Why is Janmashtami on Mon 22 Aug in Pāthardi?

Janmashtami is on Mon 22 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 02:19 Mon. Ashtami: 02:19 Mon to 00:45 Tue.

Ashtami holds nishitha only until 00:45 Tue; then Navami. Ashtami: 02:19 to 00:45 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 02:19 on Mon 22 Aug to 00:45 on Tue 23 Aug, so it touches only Monday night’s nishitha (00:09 Tue–00:54 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.
