Full panchang for Tue 22 Aug in AtliacaJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Tue 22 Aug in Atliaca?
Janmashtami is on Tue 22 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha on neither night, and the later day is taken.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 02:33 Tue. Ashtami: 02:33 Tue to 01:00 Wed.
Ashtami ended at 01:00 Wed; nishitha is Navami. Ashtami: 02:33 to 01:00 Wed.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−5). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 02:33 on Tue 22 Aug to 01:00 on Wed 23 Aug, between the two nights’ nishitha, touching neither. The Dharmasindhu then takes the later day: Tue 22 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.
