Full panchang for Tue 22 Feb in PāthardiMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Tue 22 Feb in Pāthardi?
Maha Shivratri is on Tue 22 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 01:18 Wed–02:07 Wed. Chaturdashi: 15:50 to 12:14 Wed.
Chaturdashi ended at 12:14; nishitha is Amavasya.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 15:50 on Tue 22 Feb to 12:14 on Wed 23 Feb, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (01:18 Wed–02:07 Wed) falls within it.
