Full panchang for Tue 21 Aug in MyshkinJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Tue 21 Aug in Myshkin?
Janmashtami is on Tue 21 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 02:16 Tue. Ashtami: 02:16 Tue to 00:23 Wed.
Ashtami holds nishitha only until 00:23 Wed; then Navami. Ashtami: 02:16 to 00:23 Wed.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 02:16 on Tue 21 Aug to 00:23 on Wed 22 Aug, so it touches only Tuesday night’s nishitha (00:11 Wed–00:47 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.
