Full panchang for Sun 19 Feb in MyjavaMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Sun 19 Feb in Myjava?
Maha Shivratri is on Sun 19 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:35–00:30 Mon. Chaturdashi: 23:34 to 23:22 Mon.
Chaturdashi ended at 23:22; nishitha is Amavasya. Chaturdashi: 23:34 Sun to 23:22.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 23:34 on Sun 19 Feb to 23:22 on Mon 20 Feb, so only Sunday night’s nishitha (23:35–00:30 Mon) falls within it.
