Full panchang for Wed 25 Feb in SevanMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Wed 25 Feb in Sevan?
Maha Shivratri is on Wed 25 Feb: Chaturdashi touches nishitha on neither night, and the later day is taken.
Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 03:32 Wed. Chaturdashi: 03:32 Wed to 00:40 Thu.
Chaturdashi ended at 00:40 Thu; nishitha is Amavasya. Chaturdashi: 03:32 to 00:40 Thu.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 03:32 on Wed 25 Feb to 00:40 on Thu 26 Feb, between the two nights’ nishitha, touching neither. The Nirnayasindhu then takes the later day: Wed 25 Feb.
