Full panchang for Sat 5 Sep in ŞefaatlıJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Sat 5 Sep in Şefaatlı?
Janmashtami is on Sat 5 Sep: Ashtami touches nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 01:25 Sat. Ashtami: 01:25 Sat to 00:32 Sun.
Ashtami holds nishitha only until 00:32 Sun; then Navami. Ashtami: 01:25 to 00:32 Sun.
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 01:25 on Sat 5 Sep to 00:32 on Sun 6 Sep, so it touches only Saturday night’s nishitha (00:17 Sun–01:01 Sun). 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.
