Full panchang for Sun 27 Feb in PāthardiMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Sun 27 Feb in Pāthardi?
Maha Shivratri is on Sun 27 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:17 Mon–01:06 Mon. Chaturdashi: 21:07 to 17:37 Mon.
Chaturdashi ended at 17:37; nishitha is Amavasya.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 21:07 on Sun 27 Feb to 17:37 on Mon 28 Feb, so only Sunday night’s nishitha (00:17 Mon–01:06 Mon) falls within it.
