Full panchang for Thu 31 Aug in MyjavaJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Thu 31 Aug in Myjava?
Janmashtami is on Thu 31 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 02:53 Thu. Ashtami: 02:53 Thu to 00:46 Fri.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:28–00:11 Fri. Ashtami: 02:53 to 00:46 Fri.
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 02:53 on Thu 31 Aug to 00:46 on Fri 1 Sep, so only Thursday night’s nishitha (23:28–00:11 Fri) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
The rule

- a Ashtami that Saptami does not pierce, read at sunrise: Tithika’s convention.
