Full panchang for Mon 4 Mar in SevanMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Mon 4 Mar in Sevan?
Maha Shivratri is on Mon 4 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:46 Tue–01:36 Tue. Chaturdashi: 14:58 to 17:37 Tue.
Chaturdashi ended at 17:37; nishitha is Amavasya.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 14:58 on Mon 4 Mar to 17:37 on Tue 5 Mar, so only Monday night’s nishitha (00:46 Tue–01:36 Tue) falls within it.
