Full panchang for Sun 13 Aug in SevanJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Sun 13 Aug in Sevan?
Janmashtami is on Sun 13 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 03:13 Sun. Ashtami: 03:13 Sun to 04:07 Mon.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:44 Mon–01:25 Mon. Ashtami: 03:13 to 04:07 Mon.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 03:13 on Sun 13 Aug to 04:07 on Mon 14 Aug, so only Sunday night’s nishitha (00:44 Mon–01:25 Mon) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
The rule

- 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.
