Full panchang for Mon 6 Sep in MyshkinJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Mon 6 Sep in Myshkin?
Janmashtami is on Mon 6 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 06:01 Mon.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 01:03 Tue–01:45 Tue. Ashtami: 06:01 to 08:22 Tue.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 06:01 on Mon 6 Sep to 08:22 on Tue 7 Sep, so only Monday night’s nishitha (01:03 Tue–01:45 Tue) 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.
