Full panchang for Wed 22 Aug in SevanJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Wed 22 Aug in Sevan?
Janmashtami is on Wed 22 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 03:13 Wed. Ashtami: 03:13 Wed to 01:47 Thu.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:42 Thu–01:24 Thu. Ashtami: 03:13 to 01:47 Thu.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 03:13 on Wed 22 Aug to 01:47 on Thu 23 Aug, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (00:42 Thu–01:24 Thu) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.

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