Full panchang for Sat 27 Feb in PāthardiMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Sat 27 Feb in Pāthardi?
By the Nirnayasindhu, Maha Shivratri is on Sat 27 Feb: Chaturdashi touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.
Trayodashi until 00:59 Sat, inside nishitha; then Chaturdashi. Chaturdashi: 00:59 Sat to 01:37 Sun.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:17 Sun–01:06 Sun. Chaturdashi: 00:59 to 01:37 Sun.
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 00:59 on Sat 27 Feb to 01:37 on Sun 28 Feb, touching nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Nirnayasindhu takes the later day: Sat 27 Feb.
