Full panchang for Fri 26 Aug in MidletonJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Fri 26 Aug in Midleton?
Janmashtami is on Fri 26 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 02:09 Fri. Ashtami: 02:09 Fri to 01:21 Sat.
Ashtami holds nishitha only until 01:21 Sat; then Navami. Ashtami: 02:09 to 01:21 Sat.
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 02:09 on Fri 26 Aug to 01:21 on Sat 27 Aug, so it touches only Friday night’s nishitha (01:14 Sat–01:54 Sat). 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.
