Full panchang for Sat 10 Mar in SevanMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Sat 10 Mar in Sevan?
Maha Shivratri is on Sat 10 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:45–00:34 Sun. Chaturdashi: 15:19 to 16:14 Sun.
Chaturdashi ended at 16:14; 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 15:19 on Sat 10 Mar to 16:14 on Sun 11 Mar, so only Saturday night’s nishitha (23:45–00:34 Sun) falls within it.
