Full panchang for Tue 22 Aug in PomocaJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Tue 22 Aug in Pomoca?
Janmashtami is on Tue 22 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 02:33 Tue. Ashtami: 02:33 Tue to 01:00 Wed.
Ashtami holds nishitha only until 01:00 Wed; then 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, so it touches only Tuesday night’s nishitha (00:51 Wed–01:37 Wed). 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.
