Full panchang for Wed 25 Aug in LibJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Wed 25 Aug in Lib?
Janmashtami is on Wed 25 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 02:55 Wed. Ashtami: 02:55 Wed to 01:50 Thu.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:29 Thu–01:15 Thu. Ashtami: 02:55 to 01:50 Thu.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+12). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 02:55 on Wed 25 Aug to 01:50 on Thu 26 Aug, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (00:29 Thu–01:15 Thu) 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.
