What the day is

Born at midnight, in a prison, to parents who could not keep him. The tradition puts its most joyful figure's birth in the least joyful place on purpose.

How to keep Krishna Janmashtami

One act for the day

Stay awake past midnight if you can, and sing. Feed children who are not yours.

The tithi covers that moment on both days, and almanacs choose between them by their own tradition. Both are shown.

The day is chosen by the moment the tradition reads its tithi at, and the times are that day's own, computed for this city. A festival-specific puja window is not printed: those rules differ by tradition and await a scholar's review.
