Full panchang for Wed 3 Sep in DavinópolisJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Wed 3 Sep in Davinópolis?
Janmashtami is on Wed 3 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 01:08 Wed. Ashtami: 01:08 Wed to 02:55 Thu.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:44–00:32 Thu. Ashtami: 01:08 to 02:55 Thu.
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 01:08 on Wed 3 Sep to 02:55 on Thu 4 Sep, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (23:44–00:32 Thu) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
