Full panchang for Wed 23 Aug in PāthardiJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Wed 23 Aug in Pāthardi?
By the Dharmasindhu, Janmashtami is on Wed 23 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:00 Wed–00:45 Wed. Ashtami: 22:32 to 00:21 Thu.
Ashtami holds nishitha only until 00:21 Thu; then Navami. Ashtami: 22:32 Tue to 00:21 Thu.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Ashtami touches nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Dharmasindhu takes the later day: Wed 23 Aug, where it holds nishitha until 00:21 Thu. 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.
