Full panchang for Thu 11 Mar in DavinópolisMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Thu 11 Mar in Davinópolis?
Maha Shivratri is on Thu 11 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 06:10 Thu.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:55–00:43 Fri. Chaturdashi: 06:10 to 06:33 Fri.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 06:10 on Thu 11 Mar to 06:33 on Fri 12 Mar, so only Thursday night’s nishitha (23:55–00:43 Fri) falls within it.
