Full panchang for Tue 5 Sep in PāthardiJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Tue 5 Sep in Pāthardi?
Janmashtami is on Tue 5 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 06:18 Tue.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:04 Wed–00:51 Wed. Ashtami: 06:18 to 04:07 Wed.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 06:18 on Tue 5 Sep to 04:07 on Wed 6 Sep, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (00:04 Wed–00:51 Wed) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
The rule
Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami (purnimanta) · Shravana Krishna Ashtami (amanta)

- 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.
