Full panchang for Fri 11 Feb in PāthardiMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Fri 11 Feb in Pāthardi?
By the Nirnayasindhu, Maha Shivratri is on Fri 11 Feb: Chaturdashi touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.
Trayodashi until 01:05 Fri, inside nishitha; then Chaturdashi. Chaturdashi: 01:05 Fri to 03:41 Sat.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:18 Sat–01:08 Sat. Chaturdashi: 01:05 to 03:41 Sat.
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 01:05 on Fri 11 Feb to 03:41 on Sat 12 Feb, touching nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Nirnayasindhu takes the later day: Fri 11 Feb.
