Full panchang for Sat 7 Sep in SaatlıJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Sat 7 Sep in Saatlı?
Janmashtami is on Sat 7 Sep: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 04:10 Sat. Ashtami: 04:10 Sat to 06:12 Sun.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 01:22 Sun–02:06 Sun. Ashtami: 04:10 to 06:12 Sun.
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 04:10 on Sat 7 Sep to 06:12 on Sun 8 Sep, so only Saturday night’s nishitha (01:22 Sun–02:06 Sun) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
The rule
Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami (purnimanta) · Shravana Krishna Ashtami (amanta)
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta.
- 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.
