Full panchang for Sun 24 Aug in MapletonJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Sun 24 Aug in Mapleton?
Janmashtami is on Sun 24 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 04:55 Sun.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:07 Mon–00:50 Mon. Ashtami: 04:55 to 05:27 Mon.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−7). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 04:55 on Sun 24 Aug to 05:27 on Mon 25 Aug, so only Sunday night’s nishitha (00:07 Mon–00:50 Mon) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
The rule

- Vaishnava
- a Ashtami that Saptami does not pierce, read at sunrise: Tithika’s convention.
