Full panchang for Sun 26 Feb in SevanMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Sun 26 Feb in Sevan?
Maha Shivratri is on Sun 26 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 11:59 Sun.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:46 Mon–01:38 Mon. Chaturdashi: 11:59 to 08:18 Mon.
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 11:59 on Sun 26 Feb to 08:18 on Mon 27 Feb, so only Sunday night’s nishitha (00:46 Mon–01:38 Mon) falls within it.
