Full panchang for Wed 26 Aug in PāthardiJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Wed 26 Aug in Pāthardi?
Janmashtami is on Wed 26 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 02:35 Wed. Ashtami: 02:35 Wed to 02:06 Thu.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:08 Thu–00:53 Thu. Ashtami: 02:35 to 02:06 Thu.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 02:35 on Wed 26 Aug to 02:06 on Thu 27 Aug, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (00:08 Thu–00:53 Thu) falls within it. 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.
