Full panchang for Mon 30 Aug in DohaJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Mon 30 Aug in Doha?
By the Dharmasindhu, Janmashtami is on Mon 30 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:12–23:57. Ashtami: 20:55 to 23:30 Mon.
Ashtami holds nishitha only until 23:30; then Navami. Ashtami: 20:55 Sun to 23:30.
One row per day, on one clock (AST). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Ashtami touches nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Dharmasindhu takes the later day: Mon 30 Aug, where it holds nishitha until 23:30. 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.
