Full panchang for Fri 26 Aug in SevanJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Fri 26 Aug in Sevan?
Janmashtami is on Fri 26 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 04:07 Fri.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:38–00:21 Sat. Ashtami: 04:07 to 03:19 Sat.
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 04:07 on Fri 26 Aug to 03:19 on Sat 27 Aug, so only Friday night’s nishitha (23:38–00:21 Sat) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.

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