Full panchang for Fri 17 Aug in MyjavaJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Fri 17 Aug in Myjava?
Janmashtami is on Fri 17 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 01:30 Fri. Ashtami: 01:30 Fri to 00:11 Sat.
Ashtami holds nishitha only until 00:11 Sat; then Navami. Ashtami: 01:30 to 00:11 Sat.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 01:30 on Fri 17 Aug to 00:11 on Sat 18 Aug, so it touches only Friday night’s nishitha (23:34–00:13 Sat). Every reading takes that day.
The rule
Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami (purnimanta) · Shravana Krishna Ashtami (amanta)
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta.
- Smarta
- the night whose nishitha Ashtami holds; when it touches both or neither, the later (Dharmasindhu).
- Vaishnava
- a Ashtami that Saptami does not pierce, read at sunrise: Tithika’s convention.
