Full panchang for Wed 31 Aug in MyjavaJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Wed 31 Aug in Myjava?
Janmashtami is on Wed 31 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 01:39 Wed. Ashtami: 01:39 Wed to 00:54 Thu.
Ashtami holds nishitha only until 00:54 Thu; then Navami. Ashtami: 01:39 to 00:54 Thu.
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 01:39 on Wed 31 Aug to 00:54 on Thu 1 Sep, so it touches only Wednesday night’s nishitha (00:29 Thu–01:11 Thu). 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.
