Full panchang for Sun 5 Sep in DavinópolisJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Sun 5 Sep in Davinópolis?
Janmashtami is on Sun 5 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 05:02 Sun.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:44–00:31 Mon. Ashtami: 05:02 to 03:02 Mon.
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 05:02 on Sun 5 Sep to 03:02 on Mon 6 Sep, so only Sunday night’s nishitha (23:44–00:31 Mon) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.

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