Full panchang for Wed 26 Feb in ThazhecodeMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Wed 26 Feb in Thazhecode?
Maha Shivratri is on Wed 26 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 11:08 Wed.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:14 Thu–01:02 Thu. Chaturdashi: 11:08 to 08:55 Thu.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 11:08 on Wed 26 Feb to 08:55 on Thu 27 Feb, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (00:14 Thu–01:02 Thu) falls within it.
