Full panchang for Mon 5 Sep in DavinópolisJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Mon 5 Sep in Davinópolis?
Janmashtami is on Mon 5 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 01:25 Mon. Ashtami: 01:25 Mon to 01:04 Tue.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 23:43–00:31 Tue. Ashtami: 01:25 to 01:04 Tue.
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 01:25 on Mon 5 Sep to 01:04 on Tue 6 Sep, so only Monday night’s nishitha (23:43–00:31 Tue) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.

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