Full panchang for Fri 7 Mar in CodcodMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Fri 7 Mar in Codcod?
Maha Shivratri is on Fri 7 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:34–00:22 Sat. Chaturdashi: 16:33 to 12:54 Sat.
Chaturdashi ended at 12:54; nishitha is Amavasya.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 16:33 on Fri 7 Mar to 12:54 on Sat 8 Mar, so only Friday night’s nishitha (23:34–00:22 Sat) falls within it.
