Puja muhurat in Ghaziabad
In Ghaziabad, the Janmashtami 2027 puja window runs 11:58 PM to 12:46 AM on 24 August 2027, a Tuesday. That is 1 minute earlier than New Delhi, because the sun rises earlier in Ghaziabad and the window is cut from the local sunrise.
How this timing is worked out
Sunrise in Ghaziabad that day is 5:53 AM and sunset is 6:50 PM. The muhurat window is cut from that daylight span, which is why it differs from one city to the next. The rule: Ashtami tithi of the Krishna paksha in purnimanta Bhadrapada, prevailing at nishita (midnight).
What Janmashtami is
The birth of Krishna, held to have occurred at midnight - so the observance is anchored at nishita rather than at sunrise.
