Full panchang for Sat 18 Feb in CodcodMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Sat 18 Feb in Codcod?
Maha Shivratri is on Sat 18 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:36–00:25 Sun. Chaturdashi: 22:32 to 18:48 Sun.
Chaturdashi ended at 18:48; nishitha is Amavasya.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 22:32 on Sat 18 Feb to 18:48 on Sun 19 Feb, so only Saturday night’s nishitha (23:36–00:25 Sun) falls within it.
