Full panchang for Wed 28 Aug in SaatlıJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Wed 28 Aug in Saatlı?
By the Dharmasindhu, Janmashtami is on Wed 28 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.
Saptami until 01:36 Wed, inside nishitha; then Ashtami. Ashtami: 01:36 Wed to 03:40 Thu.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 01:26 Thu–02:09 Thu. Ashtami: 01:36 to 03:40 Thu.
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 01:36 on Wed 28 Aug to 03:40 on Thu 29 Aug, touching nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Dharmasindhu takes the later day: Wed 28 Aug. Every reading takes that day.
