Full panchang for Thu 5 Sep in SevanJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Thu 5 Sep in Sevan?
Janmashtami is on Thu 5 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 05:23 Thu.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:34–00:19 Fri. Ashtami: 05:23 to 03:31 Fri.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 05:23 on Thu 5 Sep to 03:31 on Fri 6 Sep, so only Thursday night’s nishitha (23:34–00:19 Fri) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.

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