Full panchang for Sat 7 Sep in KhmelnytskyiJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Sat 7 Sep in Khmelnytskyi?
Janmashtami is on Sat 7 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 03:10 Sat. Ashtami: 03:10 Sat to 05:12 Sun.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 01:48 Sun–02:32 Sun. Ashtami: 03:10 to 05:12 Sun.
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 03:10 on Sat 7 Sep to 05:12 on Sun 8 Sep, so only Saturday night’s nishitha (01:48 Sun–02:32 Sun) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
The rule

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