Full panchang for Wed 23 Aug in IpameriJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Wed 23 Aug in Ipameri?
Janmashtami is on Wed 23 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 04:39 Wed.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:50–00:39 Thu. Ashtami: 04:39 to 02:46 Thu.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 04:39 on Wed 23 Aug to 02:46 on Thu 24 Aug, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (23:50–00:39 Thu) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.

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