Full panchang for Thu 12 Aug in ChahārbāghJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Thu 12 Aug in Chahārbāgh?
Janmashtami is on Thu 12 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 03:24 Thu.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:51–00:32 Fri. Ashtami: 03:24 to 01:46 Fri.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3:30). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 03:24 on Thu 12 Aug to 01:46 on Fri 13 Aug, so only Thursday night’s nishitha (23:51–00:32 Fri) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.

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