Full panchang for Fri 24 Feb in MyjavaMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Fri 24 Feb in Myjava?
Maha Shivratri is on Fri 24 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:35–00:28 Sat. Chaturdashi: 17:08 to 16:50 Sat.
Chaturdashi ended at 16:50; nishitha is Amavasya.
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 17:08 on Fri 24 Feb to 16:50 on Sat 25 Feb, so only Friday night’s nishitha (23:35–00:28 Sat) falls within it.
