Full panchang for Mon 18 Aug in DavinópolisJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Mon 18 Aug in Davinópolis?
Janmashtami is on Mon 18 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 01:59 Mon. Ashtami: 01:59 Mon to 23:52 Mon.
Ashtami holds nishitha only until 23:52; then Navami. Ashtami: 01:59 to 23:52.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 01:59 on Mon 18 Aug to 23:52 on Mon 18 Aug, so it touches only Monday night’s nishitha (23:49–00:37 Tue). 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.
