Full panchang for Sun 1 Mar in DiffaMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Sun 1 Mar in Diffa?
Maha Shivratri is on Sun 1 Mar: Chaturdashi touches nishitha on neither night, and the later day is taken.
Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 02:04 Sun.
Chaturdashi ended at 22:34; nishitha is Amavasya. Chaturdashi: 02:04 to 22:34.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 02:04 on Sun 1 Mar to 22:34 on Sun 1 Mar, between the two nights’ nishitha, touching neither. The Nirnayasindhu then takes the later day: Sun 1 Mar.
