Full panchang for Fri 22 Aug in CodcodJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Fri 22 Aug in Codcod?
Janmashtami is on Fri 22 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 04:05 Fri.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:26–00:13 Sat. Ashtami: 04:05 to 06:19 Sat.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 04:05 on Fri 22 Aug to 06:19 on Sat 23 Aug, so only Friday night’s nishitha (23:26–00:13 Sat) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
The rule
Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami (purnimanta) · Shravana Krishna Ashtami (amanta)

- 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.
