Full panchang for Mon 30 Aug in GresikJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Mon 30 Aug in Gresik?
Janmashtami is on Mon 30 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 00:55 Mon. Ashtami: 00:55 Mon to 03:30 Tue.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:05–23:53. Ashtami: 00:55 to 03:30 Tue.
One row per day, on one clock (WIB). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 00:55 on Mon 30 Aug to 03:30 on Tue 31 Aug, so only Monday night’s nishitha (23:05–23:53) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.

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