Full panchang for Sat 5 Sep in CodcodJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Sat 5 Sep in Codcod?
Janmashtami is on Sat 5 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 06:25 Sat.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:22–00:09 Sun. Ashtami: 06:25 to 05:32 Sun.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 06:25 on Sat 5 Sep to 05:32 on Sun 6 Sep, so only Saturday night’s nishitha (23:22–00:09 Sun) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
The rule

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