Full panchang for Sat 31 Aug in ProgressJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Sat 31 Aug in Progress?
By the Dharmasindhu, Janmashtami is on Sat 31 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 01:01 Sat–01:43 Sat. Ashtami: 23:45 to 01:06 Sun.
Ashtami holds nishitha only until 01:06 Sun; then Navami. Ashtami: 23:45 Fri to 01:06 Sun.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+10). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Ashtami touches nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Dharmasindhu takes the later day: Sat 31 Aug, where it holds nishitha until 01:06 Sun. 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.
