Full panchang for Wed 31 Aug in KhmelnytskyiJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Wed 31 Aug in Khmelnytskyi?
Janmashtami is on Wed 31 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 03:39 Wed. Ashtami: 03:39 Wed to 02:54 Thu.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 01:51 Thu–02:33 Thu. Ashtami: 03:39 to 02:54 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 03:39 on Wed 31 Aug to 02:54 on Thu 1 Sep, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (01:51 Thu–02:33 Thu) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
