Full panchang for Tue 11 Feb in PāthardiMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Tue 11 Feb in Pāthardi?
Maha Shivratri is on Tue 11 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:18 Wed–01:08 Wed. Chaturdashi: 17:59 to 18:33 Wed.
Chaturdashi ended at 18:33; nishitha is Amavasya.
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 17:59 on Tue 11 Feb to 18:33 on Wed 12 Feb, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (00:18 Wed–01:08 Wed) falls within it.
