Krishna Janmashtami 2026 in Johannesburg

Krishna Janmashtami 2026 in Johannesburg (South Africa) is on Thursday 3 September 2026; in India it is on Friday 4 September 2026, because Johannesburg's local day reaches the deciding tithi on a different calendar date. The Sri Krishna Janmashtami tithi (Bahula Ashtami) runs from 3 September 2026 10:55 PM to 4 September 2026 8:44 PM Johannesburg time. The date is fixed by the tithi at nishita (the middle muhurta of the night, around midnight), which in Johannesburg on that day is 11:42 PM – 12:31 AM (4 Sep). Check of the rule: 2 September 2026: nishita 11:42 PM–12:31 AM (3 Sep), tithi covers 0%; 3 September 2026: nishita 11:42 PM–12:31 AM (4 Sep), tithi covers 100%; 4 September 2026: nishita 11:41 PM–12:31 AM (5 Sep), tithi covers 0%. That day sunrise is 6:18 AM, sunset 5:56 PM, and rahu kalam 1:34 PM – 3:01 PM; the full panchangam of the day is linked below. All times are computed for this city's coordinates and time zone from the NASA/JPL ephemeris; no time is converted from India. Dates here follow the Telugu (amanta) almanac rules. Many Hindu families in Fiji, Mauritius and South Africa use North-Indian (purnimanta) almanacs, which name the months differently and can differ for some vratams; the main festivals that are fixed by a tithi at a part of the day come out the same.
