Full panchang for Sun 19 Feb in IpameriMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Sun 19 Feb in Ipameri?
Maha Shivratri is on Sun 19 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 01:03 Mon–01:49 Mon. Chaturdashi: 20:34 to 20:22 Mon.
Chaturdashi ended at 20:22; nishitha is Amavasya.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−2). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 20:34 on Sun 19 Feb to 20:22 on Mon 20 Feb, so only Sunday night’s nishitha (01:03 Mon–01:49 Mon) falls within it.
