Full panchang for Wed 23 Feb in BothellMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Wed 23 Feb in Bothell?
By the Nirnayasindhu, Maha Shivratri is on Wed 23 Feb: Chaturdashi touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:55–00:48 Wed. Chaturdashi: 21:14 to 23:57 Wed.
Chaturdashi holds nishitha only until 23:57; then Amavasya. Chaturdashi: 21:14 Tue to 23:57.
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: Wed 23 Feb, where it holds nishitha until 23:57.
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.
