Full panchang for Tue 13 Feb in IpameriMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Tue 13 Feb in Ipameri?
Maha Shivratri is on Tue 13 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 01:04 Wed–01:49 Wed. Chaturdashi: 15:04 to 17:16 Wed.
Chaturdashi ended at 17:16; nishitha is Amavasya.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−2). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 15:04 on Tue 13 Feb to 17:16 on Wed 14 Feb, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (01:04 Wed–01:49 Wed) falls within it.
