Full panchang for Sun 15 Feb in SaatlıMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Sun 15 Feb in Saatlı?
Maha Shivratri is on Sun 15 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:33 Mon–01:26 Mon. Chaturdashi: 15:35 to 16:04 Mon.
Chaturdashi ended at 16:04; 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 15:35 on Sun 15 Feb to 16:04 on Mon 16 Feb, so only Sunday night’s nishitha (00:33 Mon–01:26 Mon) falls within it.
