Full panchang for Fri 12 Feb in SevanMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Fri 12 Feb in Sevan?
By the Nirnayasindhu, Maha Shivratri is on Fri 12 Feb: Chaturdashi touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.
Trayodashi until 01:27 Fri, inside nishitha; then Chaturdashi. Chaturdashi: 01:27 Fri to 04:11 Sat.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:47 Sat–01:40 Sat. Chaturdashi: 01:27 to 04:11 Sat.
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 01:27 on Fri 12 Feb to 04:11 on Sat 13 Feb, touching nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Nirnayasindhu takes the later day: Fri 12 Feb.
