Full panchang for Mon 7 Mar in MapletonMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Mon 7 Mar in Mapleton?
Maha Shivratri is on Mon 7 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 07:53 Mon.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:12 Tue–01:01 Tue. Chaturdashi: 07:53 to 09:42 Tue.
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 07:53 on Mon 7 Mar to 09:42 on Tue 8 Mar, so only Monday night’s nishitha (00:12 Tue–01:01 Tue) falls within it.
