Full panchang for Thu 12 Aug in MyshkinJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Thu 12 Aug in Myshkin?
Janmashtami is on Thu 12 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 03:54 Thu. Ashtami: 03:54 Thu to 02:16 Fri.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 01:14 Fri–01:48 Fri. Ashtami: 03:54 to 02:16 Fri.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 03:54 on Thu 12 Aug to 02:16 on Fri 13 Aug, so only Thursday night’s nishitha (01:14 Fri–01:48 Fri) falls within it. 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.
