Full panchang for Sat 29 Feb in MapletonMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Sat 29 Feb in Mapleton?
Maha Shivratri is on Sat 29 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:13 Sun–01:04 Sun. Chaturdashi: 18:55 to 15:25 Sun.
Chaturdashi ended at 15:25; nishitha is Amavasya.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−7). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 18:55 on Sat 29 Feb to 15:25 on Sun 1 Mar, so only Saturday night’s nishitha (00:13 Sun–01:04 Sun) falls within it.
