Full panchang for Wed 17 Aug in BaodingJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Wed 17 Aug in Baoding?
Janmashtami is on Wed 17 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 06:36 Wed.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:01 Thu–00:43 Thu. Ashtami: 06:36 to 04:56 Thu.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 06:36 on Wed 17 Aug to 04:56 on Thu 18 Aug, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (00:01 Thu–00:43 Thu) 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.
