Full panchang for Fri 26 Aug in PlatnirovskayaJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Fri 26 Aug in Platnirovskaya?
Janmashtami is on Fri 26 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 06:09 Fri.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 02:03 Sat–02:45 Sat. Ashtami: 06:09 to 05:21 Sat.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+5). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 06:09 on Fri 26 Aug to 05:21 on Sat 27 Aug, so only Friday night’s nishitha (02:03 Sat–02:45 Sat) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.

- Smarta
- the night whose nishitha Ashtami holds; when it touches both or neither, the later (Dharmasindhu).
- Vaishnava
- a Ashtami that Saptami does not pierce, read at sunrise: Tithika’s convention.
