Full panchang for Mon 4 Mar in PāthardiMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Mon 4 Mar in Pāthardi?
Maha Shivratri is on Mon 4 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:16 Tue–01:05 Tue. Chaturdashi: 16:28 to 19:07 Tue.
Chaturdashi ended at 19:07; nishitha is Amavasya.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 16:28 on Mon 4 Mar to 19:07 on Tue 5 Mar, so only Monday night’s nishitha (00:16 Tue–01:05 Tue) falls within it.
