Full panchang for Wed 23 Feb in MyshkinMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Wed 23 Feb in Myshkin?
Maha Shivratri is on Wed 23 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 08:14 Wed.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:10 Thu–01:06 Thu. Chaturdashi: 08:14 to 10:57 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 08:14 on Wed 23 Feb to 10:57 on Thu 24 Feb, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (00:10 Thu–01:06 Thu) falls within it.
