Full panchang for Tue 27 Feb in DavinópolisMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Tue 27 Feb in Davinópolis?
Maha Shivratri is on Tue 27 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:24 Wed–01:12 Wed. Chaturdashi: 16:28 to 12:46 Wed.
Chaturdashi ended at 12:46; nishitha is Amavasya.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 16:28 on Tue 27 Feb to 12:46 on Wed 28 Feb, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (00:24 Wed–01:12 Wed) falls within it.
