Full panchang for Fri 26 Aug in OlveraJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Fri 26 Aug in Olvera?
Janmashtami is on Fri 26 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 01:09 Fri. Ashtami: 01:09 Fri to 00:21 Sat.
Ashtami holds nishitha only until 00:21 Sat; then Navami. Ashtami: 01:09 to 00:21 Sat.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 01:09 on Fri 26 Aug to 00:21 on Sat 27 Aug, so it touches only Friday night’s nishitha (00:01 Sat–00:44 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.
