Full panchang for Sun 19 Aug in IpameriJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Sun 19 Aug in Ipameri?
Janmashtami is on Sun 19 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 03:58 Sun.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:51–00:40 Mon. Ashtami: 03:58 to 05:12 Mon.
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 03:58 on Sun 19 Aug to 05:12 on Mon 20 Aug, so only Sunday night’s nishitha (23:51–00:40 Mon) 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.
