Aṣṭamī covers 48 of 48 minutes of niśītha. Why this date in Ujjain
Janmāṣṭamī marks the birth of Kṛṣṇa, at midnight on the eighth night of the dark fortnight of Śrāvaṇa, which is called Bhādrapada where months are counted from the full moon.
It is kept with a fast that lasts until midnight, when the birth is celebrated.
The day is the one on which the eighth tithi holds at niśītha, the middle of the night. Vaiṣṇava communities that also look for the nakṣatra Rohiṇī often keep the following day; that reading is not applied here.
