Full panchang for Sat 16 Aug in Lin’eJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Sat 16 Aug in Lin’e?
Janmashtami is on Sat 16 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha on neither night, and the later day is taken.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 02:20 Sat. Ashtami: 02:20 Sat to 00:05 Sun.
Ashtami ended at 00:05 Sun; nishitha is 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, between the two nights’ nishitha, touching neither. The Dharmasindhu then takes the later day: Sat 16 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.
