Full panchang for Mon 5 Sep in SevanJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Mon 5 Sep in Sevan?
Janmashtami is on Mon 5 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 05:19 Mon.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:36 Tue–01:21 Tue. Ashtami: 05:19 to 07:46 Tue.
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 05:19 on Mon 5 Sep to 07:46 on Tue 6 Sep, so only Monday night’s nishitha (00:36 Tue–01:21 Tue) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.

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