Full panchang for Thu 25 Feb in SevanMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Thu 25 Feb in Sevan?
Maha Shivratri is on Thu 25 Feb: Chaturdashi touches nishitha on neither night, and the later day is taken.
Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 02:28 Thu. Chaturdashi: 02:28 Thu to 00:15 Fri.
Chaturdashi ended at 00:15 Fri; nishitha is Amavasya. Chaturdashi: 02:28 to 00:15 Fri.
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 02:28 on Thu 25 Feb to 00:15 on Fri 26 Feb, between the two nights’ nishitha, touching neither. The Nirnayasindhu then takes the later day: Thu 25 Feb.
