Full panchang for Sun 11 Feb in PāthardiMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Sun 11 Feb in Pāthardi?
Maha Shivratri is on Sun 11 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 05:02 Sun.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 01:18 Mon–02:08 Mon. Chaturdashi: 05:02 to 02:47 Mon.
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 05:02 on Sun 11 Feb to 02:47 on Mon 12 Feb, so only Sunday night’s nishitha (01:18 Mon–02:08 Mon) falls within it.
