Full panchang for Tue 8 Mar in SevanMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Tue 8 Mar in Sevan?
Maha Shivratri is on Tue 8 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:45 Wed–01:35 Wed. Chaturdashi: 19:01 to 15:58 Wed.
Chaturdashi ended at 15:58; nishitha is Amavasya.
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 19:01 on Tue 8 Mar to 15:58 on Wed 9 Mar, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (00:45 Wed–01:35 Wed) falls within it.
