Full panchang for Mon 18 Aug in MyjavaJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Mon 18 Aug in Myjava?
Janmashtami is on Mon 18 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 05:59 Mon.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:34–00:13 Tue. Ashtami: 05:59 to 03:52 Tue.
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 05:59 on Mon 18 Aug to 03:52 on Tue 19 Aug, so only Monday night’s nishitha (23:34–00:13 Tue) 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.
