Full panchang for Sat 25 Feb in CodcodMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Sat 25 Feb in Codcod?
By the Nirnayasindhu, Maha Shivratri is on Sat 25 Feb: Chaturdashi touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.
Trayodashi until 00:08 Sat, inside nishitha; then Chaturdashi. Chaturdashi: 00:08 Sat to 23:50 Sat.
Chaturdashi holds nishitha only until 23:50; then Amavasya. Chaturdashi: 00:08 to 23:50.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Chaturdashi touches nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Nirnayasindhu takes the later day: Sat 25 Feb, where it holds nishitha until 23:50.
The rule
Phalguna Krishna Chaturdashi (purnimanta) · Magha Krishna Chaturdashi (amanta)
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta.
- Smarta
- the night whose nishitha Chaturdashi holds; when it touches both or neither, the later (Nirnayasindhu).
- Vaishnava
- the Smarta day.
