Full panchang for Sat 7 Mar in SevanMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Sat 7 Mar in Sevan?
Maha Shivratri is on Sat 7 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:45 Sun–01:35 Sun. Chaturdashi: 13:37 to 13:59 Sun.
Chaturdashi ended at 13:59; nishitha is Amavasya.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 13:37 on Sat 7 Mar to 13:59 on Sun 8 Mar, so only Saturday night’s nishitha (00:45 Sun–01:35 Sun) falls within it.
