Full panchang for Sat 17 Aug in SevanJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Sat 17 Aug in Sevan?
Janmashtami is on Sat 17 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 07:48 Sat.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:43 Sun–01:24 Sun. Ashtami: 07:48 to 05:36 Sun.
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 07:48 on Sat 17 Aug to 05:36 on Sun 18 Aug, so only Saturday night’s nishitha (00:43 Sun–01:24 Sun) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
The rule

- 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.
