Full panchang for Sun 13 Aug in DiffaJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Sun 13 Aug in Diffa?
By the Dharmasindhu, Janmashtami is on Sun 13 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.
Saptami until 00:13 Sun, inside nishitha; then Ashtami. Ashtami: 00:13 Sun to 01:07 Mon.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:51–00:37 Mon. Ashtami: 00:13 to 01:07 Mon.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 00:13 on Sun 13 Aug to 01:07 on Mon 14 Aug, touching nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Dharmasindhu takes the later day: Sun 13 Aug. Every reading takes that day.
