Full panchang for Tue 22 Aug in OleanJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Tue 22 Aug in Olean?
Janmashtami is on Tue 22 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 03:33 Tue. Ashtami: 03:33 Tue to 02:00 Wed.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:55 Wed–01:37 Wed. Ashtami: 03:33 to 02:00 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 03:33 on Tue 22 Aug to 02:00 on Wed 23 Aug, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (00:55 Wed–01:37 Wed) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
The rule

- 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.
