Full panchang for Sat 17 Feb in IpameriMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Sat 17 Feb in Ipameri?
Maha Shivratri is on Sat 17 Feb: Chaturdashi touches nishitha on neither night, and the later day is taken.
Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 03:10 Sat.
Chaturdashi ended at 23:45; nishitha is Amavasya. Chaturdashi: 03:10 to 23:45.
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 03:10 on Sat 17 Feb to 23:45 on Sat 17 Feb, between the two nights’ nishitha, touching neither. The Nirnayasindhu then takes the later day: Sat 17 Feb.
