Full panchang for Fri 26 Aug in MyjavaJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Fri 26 Aug in Myjava?
Janmashtami is on Fri 26 Aug: Ashtami holds all of 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 all of nishitha, 23:31–00:12 Sat. 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 only Friday night’s nishitha (23:31–00:12 Sat) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
The rule
