Full panchang for Tue 8 Mar in BaodingMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Tue 8 Mar in Baoding?
By the Nirnayasindhu, Maha Shivratri is on Tue 8 Mar: Chaturdashi touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:04 Tue–00:53 Tue. Chaturdashi: 22:53 to 00:42 Wed.
Chaturdashi holds nishitha only until 00:42 Wed; then Amavasya. Chaturdashi: 22:53 Mon to 00:42 Wed.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Chaturdashi touches nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Nirnayasindhu takes the later day: Tue 8 Mar, where it holds nishitha until 00:42 Wed.
The rule
Phalguna Krishna Chaturdashi (purnimanta) · Magha Krishna Chaturdashi (amanta)
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta.
- Smarta
- the night whose nishitha Chaturdashi holds; when it touches both or neither, the later (Nirnayasindhu).
- Vaishnava
- the Smarta day.
