Full panchang for Mon 26 Aug in SaatlıJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Mon 26 Aug in Saatlı?
Janmashtami is on Mon 26 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 02:09 Mon. Ashtami: 02:09 Mon to 00:50 Tue.
Ashtami holds nishitha only until 00:50 Tue; then Navami. Ashtami: 02:09 to 00:50 Tue.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 02:09 on Mon 26 Aug to 00:50 on Tue 27 Aug, so it touches only Monday night’s nishitha (00:26 Tue–01:09 Tue). 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.
