Full panchang for Tue 7 Mar in SevanMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Tue 7 Mar in Sevan?
Maha Shivratri is on Tue 7 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 10:56 Tue.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:45 Wed–01:35 Wed. Chaturdashi: 10:56 to 08:36 Wed.
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 10:56 on Tue 7 Mar to 08:36 on Wed 8 Mar, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (00:45 Wed–01:35 Wed) falls within it.
