Full panchang for Sat 29 Feb in DavinópolisMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Sat 29 Feb in Davinópolis?
Maha Shivratri is on Sat 29 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:24 Sun–01:11 Sun. Chaturdashi: 23:21 to 19:51 Sun.
Chaturdashi ended at 19:51; 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 23:21 on Sat 29 Feb to 19:51 on Sun 1 Mar, so only Saturday night’s nishitha (00:24 Sun–01:11 Sun) falls within it.
