Full panchang for Sat 5 Sep in SevanJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Sat 5 Sep in Sevan?
Janmashtami is on Sat 5 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 02:25 Sat. Ashtami: 02:25 Sat to 01:32 Sun.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:36 Sun–01:21 Sun. Ashtami: 02:25 to 01:32 Sun.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 02:25 on Sat 5 Sep to 01:32 on Sun 6 Sep, so only Saturday night’s nishitha (00:36 Sun–01:21 Sun) 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.
