Full panchang for Thu 13 Aug in IpameriJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Thu 13 Aug in Ipameri?
Janmashtami is on Thu 13 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 04:26 Thu.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:52–00:42 Fri. Ashtami: 04:26 to 03:15 Fri.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 04:26 on Thu 13 Aug to 03:15 on Fri 14 Aug, so only Thursday night’s nishitha (23:52–00:42 Fri) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
The rule
Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami (purnimanta) · Shravana Krishna Ashtami (amanta)

- 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.
