Full panchang for Fri 14 Aug in MapletonJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Fri 14 Aug in Mapleton?
Janmashtami is on Fri 14 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha on neither night, and the later day is taken.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 02:54 Fri. Ashtami: 02:54 Fri to 00:46 Sat.
Ashtami ended at 00:46 Sat; nishitha is Navami. Ashtami: 02:54 to 00:46 Sat.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−6). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 02:54 on Fri 14 Aug to 00:46 on Sat 15 Aug, between the two nights’ nishitha, touching neither. The Dharmasindhu then takes the later day: Fri 14 Aug. 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.
