How this date is determined

Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami at nishita kaal — Krishna's birth is placed at midnight.

Because the birth is at midnight, the ashtami running at nishita decides the day, not the one at sunrise.

Krishna Janmashtami 2026–2028

Dates are computed against sunrise at Delhi. Sunrise and moonrise shift by city, so check your own city's panchang for local timings. Panchang
