Full panchang for Fri 25 Aug in SevanJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Fri 25 Aug in Sevan?
Janmashtami is on Fri 25 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 03:42 Fri. Ashtami: 03:42 Fri to 05:02 Sat.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:41 Sat–01:23 Sat. Ashtami: 03:42 to 05:02 Sat.
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 03:42 on Fri 25 Aug to 05:02 on Sat 26 Aug, so only Friday night’s nishitha (00:41 Sat–01:23 Sat) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
The rule

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