Full panchang for Tue 8 Mar in IpameriMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Tue 8 Mar in Ipameri?
Maha Shivratri is on Tue 8 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 12:01 Tue.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:00 Wed–00:46 Wed. Chaturdashi: 12:01 to 08:58 Wed.
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 12:01 on Tue 8 Mar to 08:58 on Wed 9 Mar, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (00:00 Wed–00:46 Wed) falls within it.
