Full panchang for Sat 9 Mar in SevanMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Sat 9 Mar in Sevan?
Maha Shivratri is on Sat 9 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:45–00:35 Sun. Chaturdashi: 12:10 to 12:10 Sun.
Chaturdashi ended at 12:10; nishitha is Amavasya.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 12:10 on Sat 9 Mar to 12:10 on Sun 10 Mar, so only Saturday night’s nishitha (23:45–00:35 Sun) falls within it.
