Full panchang for Sat 22 Aug in Finote SelamJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Sat 22 Aug in Finote Selam?
Janmashtami is on Sat 22 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 06:23 Sat.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:10 Sun–00:56 Sun. Ashtami: 06:23 to 04:08 Sun.
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 06:23 on Sat 22 Aug to 04:08 on Sun 23 Aug, so only Saturday night’s nishitha (00:10 Sun–00:56 Sun) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
The rule

- 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.
