Full panchang for Tue 22 Aug in ComplexeJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Tue 22 Aug in Complexe?
Janmashtami is on Tue 22 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 07:33 Tue.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:03 Wed–00:50 Wed. Ashtami: 07:33 to 06:00 Wed.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 07:33 on Tue 22 Aug to 06:00 on Wed 23 Aug, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (00:03 Wed–00:50 Wed) falls within it. 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.
