Full panchang for Wed 23 Feb in DavinópolisMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Wed 23 Feb in Davinópolis?
Maha Shivratri is on Wed 23 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 02:14 Wed. Chaturdashi: 02:14 Wed to 04:57 Thu.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:59–00:46 Thu. Chaturdashi: 02:14 to 04:57 Thu.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 02:14 on Wed 23 Feb to 04:57 on Thu 24 Feb, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (23:59–00:46 Thu) falls within it.
