Full panchang for Wed 28 Aug in ChahārbāghJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Wed 28 Aug in Chahārbāgh?
By the Dharmasindhu, Janmashtami is on Wed 28 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.
Saptami until 01:06 Wed, inside nishitha; then Ashtami. Ashtami: 01:06 Wed to 03:10 Thu.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:46 Thu–01:29 Thu. Ashtami: 01:06 to 03:10 Thu.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4:30). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 01:06 on Wed 28 Aug to 03:10 on Thu 29 Aug, touching nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Dharmasindhu takes the later day: Wed 28 Aug. Every reading takes that day.
