Full panchang for Thu 10 Mar in IpameriMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Thu 10 Mar in Ipameri?
Maha Shivratri is on Thu 10 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 01:13 Thu. Chaturdashi: 01:13 Thu to 02:27 Fri.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:59–00:46 Fri. Chaturdashi: 01:13 to 02:27 Fri.
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 01:13 on Thu 10 Mar to 02:27 on Fri 11 Mar, so only Thursday night’s nishitha (23:59–00:46 Fri) falls within it.
