Full panchang for Tue 17 Feb in CodcodMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Tue 17 Feb in Codcod?
Maha Shivratri is on Tue 17 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:36–00:25 Wed. Chaturdashi: 15:06 to 11:33 Wed.
Chaturdashi ended at 11:33; nishitha is Amavasya.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 15:06 on Tue 17 Feb to 11:33 on Wed 18 Feb, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (23:36–00:25 Wed) falls within it.
