Full panchang for Wed 25 Aug in HighfieldsJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Wed 25 Aug in Highfields?
Janmashtami is on Wed 25 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 00:55 Wed. Ashtami: 00:55 Wed to 23:50 Wed.
Ashtami holds nishitha only until 23:50; then Navami. Ashtami: 00:55 to 23:50.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+10). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 00:55 on Wed 25 Aug to 23:50 on Wed 25 Aug, so it touches only Wednesday night’s nishitha (23:28–00:19 Thu). 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.
