Full panchang for Tue 25 Feb in MapletonMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Tue 25 Feb in Mapleton?
Maha Shivratri is on Tue 25 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:13 Wed–01:04 Wed. Chaturdashi: 22:38 to 20:25 Wed.
Chaturdashi ended at 20:25; nishitha is Amavasya.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−7). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 22:38 on Tue 25 Feb to 20:25 on Wed 26 Feb, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (00:13 Wed–01:04 Wed) falls within it.
