Full panchang for Sat 5 Sep in PāthardiJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Sat 5 Sep in Pāthardi?
By the Dharmasindhu, Janmashtami is on Sat 5 Sep: Ashtami touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.
Saptami until 00:24 Sat, inside nishitha; then Ashtami. Ashtami: 00:24 Sat to 01:05 Sun.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:05 Sun–00:51 Sun. Ashtami: 00:24 to 01:05 Sun.
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 00:24 on Sat 5 Sep to 01:05 on Sun 6 Sep, touching nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Dharmasindhu takes the later day: Sat 5 Sep. Every reading takes that day.
