Full panchang for Mon 4 Sep in SevanJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Mon 4 Sep in Sevan?
Janmashtami is on Mon 4 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 03:42 Mon.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:37–00:21 Tue. Ashtami: 03:42 to 06:00 Tue.
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 03:42 on Mon 4 Sep to 06:00 on Tue 5 Sep, so only Monday night’s nishitha (23:37–00:21 Tue) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.

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