Full panchang for Tue 11 Aug in Finote SelamJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Tue 11 Aug in Finote Selam?
By the Dharmasindhu, Janmashtami is on Tue 11 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:48–00:34 Tue. Ashtami: 23:31 to 00:11 Wed.
Ashtami holds nishitha only until 00:11 Wed; then Navami. Ashtami: 23:31 Mon to 00:11 Wed.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+2:30). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Ashtami touches nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Dharmasindhu takes the later day: Tue 11 Aug, where it holds nishitha until 00:11 Wed. 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.
