Full panchang for Thu 11 Mar in SaatlıMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Thu 11 Mar in Saatlı?
Maha Shivratri is on Thu 11 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:31 Fri–01:20 Fri. Chaturdashi: 13:10 to 13:33 Fri.
Chaturdashi ended at 13:33; 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 13:10 on Thu 11 Mar to 13:33 on Fri 12 Mar, so only Thursday night’s nishitha (00:31 Fri–01:20 Fri) falls within it.
