Full panchang for Fri 4 Sep in GresikJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Fri 4 Sep in Gresik?
Janmashtami is on Fri 4 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 03:55 Fri.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:04–23:52. Ashtami: 03:55 to 01:44 Sat.
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 03:55 on Fri 4 Sep to 01:44 on Sat 5 Sep, so only Friday night’s nishitha (23:04–23:52) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.

- 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.
