Full panchang for Mon 30 Aug in Wapi PathumJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Mon 30 Aug in Wapi Pathum?
Janmashtami is on Mon 30 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 00:55 Mon. Ashtami: 00:55 Mon to 03:30 Tue.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:43–00:30 Tue. Ashtami: 00:55 to 03:30 Tue.
One row per day, on one clock (ICT). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 00:55 on Mon 30 Aug to 03:30 on Tue 31 Aug, so only Monday night’s nishitha (23:43–00:30 Tue) 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.
