Full panchang for Wed 1 Sep in IpameriJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Wed 1 Sep in Ipameri?
Janmashtami is on Wed 1 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 02:20 Wed. Ashtami: 02:20 Wed to 02:12 Thu.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:48–00:36 Thu. Ashtami: 02:20 to 02:12 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 02:20 on Wed 1 Sep to 02:12 on Thu 2 Sep, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (23:48–00:36 Thu) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
