Full panchang for Thu 11 Aug in DavinópolisJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Thu 11 Aug in Davinópolis?
Janmashtami is on Thu 11 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 03:33 Thu.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:50–00:38 Fri. Ashtami: 03:33 to 05:45 Fri.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 03:33 on Thu 11 Aug to 05:45 on Fri 12 Aug, so only Thursday night’s nishitha (23:50–00:38 Fri) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
The rule

- Vaishnava
- a Ashtami that Saptami does not pierce, read at sunrise: Tithika’s convention.
