Full panchang for Tue 17 Feb in MyjavaMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Tue 17 Feb in Myjava?
Maha Shivratri is on Tue 17 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 08:06 Tue.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:35–00:30 Wed. Chaturdashi: 08:06 to 04:33 Wed.
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 08:06 on Tue 17 Feb to 04:33 on Wed 18 Feb, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (23:35–00:30 Wed) falls within it.
