Windows are computed for this city — the tithi decides which are valid, so they shift with your location and are not the Indian times. Abhijit and Rahu Kaal belong to the day itself rather than to the festival.
Krishna Janmashtami marks Krishna’s birth on the eighth day of the waning moon in Shravana. He was born at midnight in a prison at Mathura, and the festival is built around that hour.
How it is observed
Devotees fast through the day and break it at the Nishita Kaal window below — after midnight, on the following calendar day. Maharashtra adds dahi handi, the human pyramid raised to break a pot of curd.
