Full panchang for Fri 4 Sep in BaodingJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Fri 4 Sep in Baoding?
Janmashtami is on Fri 4 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 04:55 Fri.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:55–00:39 Sat. Ashtami: 04:55 to 02:44 Sat.
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 04:55 on Fri 4 Sep to 02:44 on Sat 5 Sep, so only Friday night’s nishitha (23:55–00:39 Sat) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.

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