Full panchang for Sat 4 Mar in PāthardiMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Sat 4 Mar in Pāthardi?
Maha Shivratri is on Sat 4 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 06:14 Sat.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:07 Sun–00:56 Sun. Chaturdashi: 06:14 to 08:18 Sun.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 06:14 on Sat 4 Mar to 08:18 on Sun 5 Mar, so only Saturday night’s nishitha (00:07 Sun–00:56 Sun) falls within it.
