Full panchang for Wed 28 Aug in CodcodJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Wed 28 Aug in Codcod?
Janmashtami is on Wed 28 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 04:36 Wed.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:25–00:11 Thu. Ashtami: 04:36 to 06:40 Thu.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 04:36 on Wed 28 Aug to 06:40 on Thu 29 Aug, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (23:25–00:11 Thu) 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.
