Full panchang for Thu 7 Mar in SevanMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Thu 7 Mar in Sevan?
By the Nirnayasindhu, Maha Shivratri is on Thu 7 Mar: Chaturdashi touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.
Trayodashi until 00:19 Thu, inside nishitha; then Chaturdashi. Chaturdashi: 00:19 Thu to 02:46 Fri.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:45–00:35 Fri. Chaturdashi: 00:19 to 02:46 Fri.
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 00:19 on Thu 7 Mar to 02:46 on Fri 8 Mar, touching nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Nirnayasindhu takes the later day: Thu 7 Mar.
