Full panchang for Sat 31 Aug in BaodingJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Sat 31 Aug in Baoding?
Janmashtami is on Sat 31 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 04:32 Sat.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:56–00:40 Sun. Ashtami: 04:32 to 03:23 Sun.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 04:32 on Sat 31 Aug to 03:23 on Sun 1 Sep, so only Saturday night’s nishitha (23:56–00:40 Sun) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
The rule
Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami (purnimanta) · Shravana Krishna Ashtami (amanta)

- 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.
