Full panchang for Thu 25 Aug in CodcodJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Thu 25 Aug in Codcod?
Janmashtami is on Thu 25 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha on neither night, and the later day is taken.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 00:47 Thu. Ashtami: 00:47 Thu to 22:37 Thu.
Ashtami ended at 22:37; nishitha is Navami. Ashtami: 00:47 to 22:37.
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 00:47 on Thu 25 Aug to 22:37 on Thu 25 Aug, between the two nights’ nishitha, touching neither. The Dharmasindhu then takes the later day: Thu 25 Aug. 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.
