Full panchang for Tue 7 Mar in MyjavaMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Tue 7 Mar in Myjava?
Maha Shivratri is on Tue 7 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 07:56 Tue.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:34–00:25 Wed. Chaturdashi: 07:56 to 05:36 Wed.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 07:56 on Tue 7 Mar to 05:36 on Wed 8 Mar, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (23:34–00:25 Wed) falls within it.
