Full panchang for Thu 2 Sep in IpameriJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Thu 2 Sep in Ipameri?
Janmashtami is on Thu 2 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 08:25 Thu.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:47–00:36 Fri. Ashtami: 08:25 to 06:10 Fri.
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 08:25 on Thu 2 Sep to 06:10 on Fri 3 Sep, so only Thursday night’s nishitha (23:47–00:36 Fri) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.

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