Full panchang for Thu 6 Mar in PāthardiMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Thu 6 Mar in Pāthardi?
By the Nirnayasindhu, Maha Shivratri is on Thu 6 Mar: Chaturdashi touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.
Trayodashi until 00:36 Thu, inside nishitha; then Chaturdashi. Chaturdashi: 00:36 Thu to 03:15 Fri.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:16 Fri–01:04 Fri. Chaturdashi: 00:36 to 03:15 Fri.
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 00:36 on Thu 6 Mar to 03:15 on Fri 7 Mar, touching nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Nirnayasindhu takes the later day: Thu 6 Mar.
