Full panchang for Sun 1 Mar in KhmelnytskyiMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Sun 1 Mar in Khmelnytskyi?
Maha Shivratri is on Sun 1 Mar: Chaturdashi touches nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 03:58 Sun.
Chaturdashi holds nishitha only until 00:27 Mon; then Amavasya. Chaturdashi: 03:58 to 00:27 Mon.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+2:02). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 03:58 on Sun 1 Mar to 00:27 on Mon 2 Mar, so it touches only Sunday night’s nishitha (00:00 Mon–00:52 Mon).
