Full panchang for Tue 16 Aug in OleanJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Tue 16 Aug in Olean?
Janmashtami is on Tue 16 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 05:59 Tue.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:57 Wed–01:38 Wed. Ashtami: 05:59 to 07:48 Wed.
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 05:59 on Tue 16 Aug to 07:48 on Wed 17 Aug, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (00:57 Wed–01:38 Wed) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.

- a Ashtami that Saptami does not pierce, read at sunrise: Tithika’s convention.
