Full panchang for Thu 5 Sep in PāthardiJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Thu 5 Sep in Pāthardi?
Janmashtami is on Thu 5 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 07:46 Thu.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:56–00:42 Fri. Ashtami: 07:46 to 05:54 Fri.
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 07:46 on Thu 5 Sep to 05:54 on Fri 6 Sep, so only Thursday night’s nishitha (23:56–00:42 Fri) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.

- Vaishnava
- a Ashtami that Saptami does not pierce, read at sunrise: Tithika’s convention.
