Full panchang for Tue 16 Feb in SevanMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Tue 16 Feb in Sevan?
Maha Shivratri is on Tue 16 Feb: Chaturdashi touches nishitha on neither night, and the later day is taken.
Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 03:23 Tue. Chaturdashi: 03:23 Tue to 23:41 Tue.
Chaturdashi ended at 23:41; nishitha is Amavasya. Chaturdashi: 03:23 to 23:41.
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 03:23 on Tue 16 Feb to 23:41 on Tue 16 Feb, between the two nights’ nishitha, touching neither. The Nirnayasindhu then takes the later day: Tue 16 Feb.
