Full panchang for Tue 11 Aug in ShkodërJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Tue 11 Aug in Shkodër?
Janmashtami is on Tue 11 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 05:37 Tue.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:27 Wed–01:07 Wed. Ashtami: 05:37 to 07:46 Wed.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+2). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 05:37 on Tue 11 Aug to 07:46 on Wed 12 Aug, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (00:27 Wed–01:07 Wed) 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.
