Full panchang for Mon 6 Sep in SevanJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Mon 6 Sep in Sevan?
Janmashtami is on Mon 6 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 07:01 Mon.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 01:36 Tue–02:20 Tue. Ashtami: 07:01 to 09:22 Tue.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+5). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 07:01 on Mon 6 Sep to 09:22 on Tue 7 Sep, so only Monday night’s nishitha (01:36 Tue–02:20 Tue) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
The rule
Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami (purnimanta) · Shravana Krishna Ashtami (amanta)

- Smarta
- the night whose nishitha Ashtami holds; when it touches both or neither, the later (Dharmasindhu).
- Vaishnava
- a Ashtami that Saptami does not pierce, read at sunrise: Tithika’s convention.
