Full panchang for Fri 7 Mar in IpameriMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Fri 7 Mar in Ipameri?
Maha Shivratri is on Fri 7 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 05:33 Fri.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:00 Sat–00:47 Sat. Chaturdashi: 05:33 to 01:54 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 05:33 on Fri 7 Mar to 01:54 on Sat 8 Mar, so only Friday night’s nishitha (00:00 Sat–00:47 Sat) falls within it.
