Full panchang for Fri 18 Aug in BaodingJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Fri 18 Aug in Baoding?
By the Dharmasindhu, Janmashtami is on Fri 18 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:01 Fri–00:43 Fri. Ashtami: 22:02 to 00:10 Sat.
Ashtami holds nishitha only until 00:10 Sat; then Navami. Ashtami: 22:02 Thu to 00:10 Sat.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Ashtami touches nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Dharmasindhu takes the later day: Fri 18 Aug, where it holds nishitha until 00:10 Sat. 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.
