Full panchang for Thu 5 Sep in MyshkinJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Thu 5 Sep in Myshkin?
Janmashtami is on Thu 5 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 04:55 Thu.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:34–00:16 Fri. Ashtami: 04:55 to 03:03 Fri.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+2:30). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 04:55 on Thu 5 Sep to 03:03 on Fri 6 Sep, so only Thursday night’s nishitha (23:34–00:16 Fri) 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.
