Full panchang for Wed 23 Feb in OleanMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Wed 23 Feb in Olean?
By the Nirnayasindhu, Maha Shivratri is on Wed 23 Feb: Chaturdashi touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.
Trayodashi until 00:14 Wed, inside nishitha; then Chaturdashi. Chaturdashi: 00:14 Wed to 02:57 Thu.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:00 Thu–00:52 Thu. Chaturdashi: 00:14 to 02:57 Thu.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−5). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 00:14 on Wed 23 Feb to 02:57 on Thu 24 Feb, touching nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Nirnayasindhu takes the later day: Wed 23 Feb.
