Full panchang for Thu 12 Aug in PolatlıJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Thu 12 Aug in Polatlı?
Janmashtami is on Thu 12 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 02:54 Thu. Ashtami: 02:54 Thu to 01:16 Fri.
Ashtami holds nishitha only until 01:16 Fri; then Navami. Ashtami: 02:54 to 01:16 Fri.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 02:54 on Thu 12 Aug to 01:16 on Fri 13 Aug, so it touches only Thursday night’s nishitha (00:36 Fri–01:17 Fri). Every reading takes that day.
The rule
Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami (purnimanta) · Shravana Krishna Ashtami (amanta)

- 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.
