Full panchang for Wed 23 Feb in MapletonMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Wed 23 Feb in Mapleton?
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, 00:13 Wed–01:05 Wed. Chaturdashi: 22:14 to 00:57 Thu.
Chaturdashi holds nishitha only until 00:57 Thu; then Amavasya. Chaturdashi: 22:14 Tue to 00:57 Thu.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−7). 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 00:57 Thu.
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.
