Smārta observes the midnight (niśīta) Aṣṭamī shown here; Vaiṣṇava tradition also requires the Rohiṇī nakṣatra and may keep it a day later.
How to keep the fast
A day-long fast, often kept without water (nirjala), held until midnight with jāgaraṇa, the night vigil of kīrtana, and worship at the niśīta hour of Kṛṣṇa’s appearance.
Breaking the fast, Broken after the midnight worship; the strict break it the next morning, once Aṣṭamī (and, for Vaiṣṇavas, the Rohiṇī nakṣatra) has passed.
