Full panchang for Fri 21 Feb in SevanMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Fri 21 Feb in Sevan?
Maha Shivratri is on Fri 21 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:47 Sat–01:39 Sat. Chaturdashi: 15:51 to 17:33 Sat.
Chaturdashi ended at 17:33; 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 15:51 on Fri 21 Feb to 17:33 on Sat 22 Feb, so only Friday night’s nishitha (00:47 Sat–01:39 Sat) falls within it.
