Full panchang for Sat 18 Feb in DavinópolisMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Sat 18 Feb in Davinópolis?
Maha Shivratri is on Sat 18 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 11:32 Sat.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:00 Sun–00:46 Sun. Chaturdashi: 11:32 to 07:48 Sun.
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 11:32 on Sat 18 Feb to 07:48 on Sun 19 Feb, so only Saturday night’s nishitha (00:00 Sun–00:46 Sun) falls within it.
