Full panchang for Mon 7 Mar in KhmelnytskyiMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Mon 7 Mar in Khmelnytskyi?
Maha Shivratri is on Mon 7 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:59–00:50 Tue. Chaturdashi: 16:55 to 18:44 Tue.
Chaturdashi ended at 18:44; nishitha is Amavasya.
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 16:55 on Mon 7 Mar to 18:44 on Tue 8 Mar, so only Monday night’s nishitha (23:59–00:50 Tue) falls within it.
