Krishna Janmashtami 2026 in Chicago (Illinois, USA) is on Thursday 3 September 2026; in India it is on Friday 4 September 2026, because Chicago's local day reaches the deciding tithi on a different calendar date. The Sri Krishna Janmashtami tithi (Bahula Ashtami) runs from 3 September 2026 3:55 PM to 4 September 2026 1:44 PM Chicago time. The date is fixed by the tithi at nishita (the middle muhurta of the night, around midnight), which in Chicago on that day is 12:27 AM (4 Sep) – 1:11 AM (4 Sep). Check of the rule: 2 September 2026: nishita 12:28 AM (3 Sep)–1:12 AM (3 Sep), tithi covers 0%; 3 September 2026: nishita 12:27 AM (4 Sep)–1:11 AM (4 Sep), tithi covers 100%; 4 September 2026: nishita 12:27 AM (5 Sep)–1:11 AM (5 Sep), tithi covers 0%.
