Full panchang for Wed 3 Mar in SevanMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Wed 3 Mar in Sevan?
Maha Shivratri is on Wed 3 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 12:10 Wed.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:46–00:36 Thu. Chaturdashi: 12:10 to 09:24 Thu.
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 Wed 3 Mar to 09:24 on Thu 4 Mar, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (23:46–00:36 Thu) falls within it.
