Full panchang for Fri 25 Aug in MyjavaJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Fri 25 Aug in Myjava?
Janmashtami is on Fri 25 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 00:42 Fri. Ashtami: 00:42 Fri to 02:02 Sat.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:31–00:12 Sat. Ashtami: 00:42 to 02:02 Sat.
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 00:42 on Fri 25 Aug to 02:02 on Sat 26 Aug, so only Friday night’s nishitha (23:31–00:12 Sat) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
The rule
