Full panchang for Tue 6 Sep in DavinópolisJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Tue 6 Sep in Davinópolis?
Janmashtami is on Tue 6 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 07:20 Tue.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:43–00:31 Wed. Ashtami: 07:20 to 05:05 Wed.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 07:20 on Tue 6 Sep to 05:05 on Wed 7 Sep, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (23:43–00:31 Wed) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
