Janmashtami 2026: Nishita Puja Time and Fasting Rules
If you live outside India, use a Panchang calculated for your city rather than converting the New Delhi time. Local sunrise, sunset and tithi boundaries can change both Nishita Kaal and, in some countries, the civil observance date. Your local temple’s 2026 calendar is usually the most practical reference for both the fasting day and the main puja schedule.
