Full panchang for Fri 23 Feb in DavinópolisMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Fri 23 Feb in Davinópolis?
Maha Shivratri is on Fri 23 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 08:57 Fri.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:59–00:46 Sat. Chaturdashi: 08:57 to 07:43 Sat.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 08:57 on Fri 23 Feb to 07:43 on Sat 24 Feb, so only Friday night’s nishitha (23:59–00:46 Sat) falls within it.
