Full panchang for Fri 8 Mar in SaatlıMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Fri 8 Mar in Saatlı?
Maha Shivratri is on Fri 8 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:31 Sat–01:21 Sat. Chaturdashi: 20:28 to 16:48 Sat.
Chaturdashi ended at 16:48; 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 20:28 on Fri 8 Mar to 16:48 on Sat 9 Mar, so only Friday night’s nishitha (00:31 Sat–01:21 Sat) falls within it.
