Full panchang for Sat 16 Aug in BashanJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Sat 16 Aug in Bashan?
Janmashtami is on Sat 16 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 02:20 Sat. Ashtami: 02:20 Sat to 00:05 Sun.
Ashtami holds nishitha only until 00:05 Sun; then Navami. Ashtami: 02:20 to 00:05 Sun.
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 02:20 on Sat 16 Aug to 00:05 on Sun 17 Aug, so it touches only Saturday night’s nishitha (23:58–00:41 Sun). 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.
