Full panchang for Mon 12 Aug in PāthardiJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Mon 12 Aug in Pāthardi?
Janmashtami is on Mon 12 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha on neither night, and the later day is taken.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 00:59 Mon. Ashtami: 00:59 Mon to 22:44 Mon.
Ashtami ended at 22:44; nishitha is Navami. Ashtami: 00:59 to 22:44.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 00:59 on Mon 12 Aug to 22:44 on Mon 12 Aug, between the two nights’ nishitha, touching neither. The Dharmasindhu then takes the later day: Mon 12 Aug. 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.
