Full panchang for Sun 24 Aug in OrtingJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Sun 24 Aug in Orting?
Janmashtami is on Sun 24 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 03:55 Sun.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:50–00:31 Mon. Ashtami: 03:55 to 04:27 Mon.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−8). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 03:55 on Sun 24 Aug to 04:27 on Mon 25 Aug, so only Sunday night’s nishitha (23:50–00:31 Mon) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
The rule
Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami (purnimanta) · Shravana Krishna Ashtami (amanta)

- 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.
