Full panchang for Sat 22 Aug in MyjavaJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Sat 22 Aug in Myjava?
Janmashtami is on Sat 22 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 05:23 Sat.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:32 Sun–01:12 Sun. Ashtami: 05:23 to 03:08 Sun.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+2). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 05:23 on Sat 22 Aug to 03:08 on Sun 23 Aug, so only Saturday night’s nishitha (00:32 Sun–01:12 Sun) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
The rule
Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami (purnimanta) · Shravana Krishna Ashtami (amanta)

- 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.
