Full panchang for Sat 6 Mar in OrtingMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Sat 6 Mar in Orting?
By the Nirnayasindhu, Maha Shivratri is on Sat 6 Mar: Chaturdashi touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:54–00:44 Sat. Chaturdashi: 22:34 to 00:16 Sun.
Chaturdashi holds nishitha only until 00:16 Sun; then Amavasya. Chaturdashi: 22:34 Fri to 00:16 Sun.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−8). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Chaturdashi touches nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Nirnayasindhu takes the later day: Sat 6 Mar, where it holds nishitha until 00:16 Sun.
The rule
Phalguna Krishna Chaturdashi (purnimanta) · Magha Krishna Chaturdashi (amanta)
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta.
- Smarta
- the night whose nishitha Chaturdashi holds; when it touches both or neither, the later (Nirnayasindhu).
- Vaishnava
- the Smarta day.
