Full panchang for Sun 13 Feb in SevanMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Sun 13 Feb in Sevan?
Maha Shivratri is on Sun 13 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:46 Mon–01:40 Mon. Chaturdashi: 17:12 to 17:23 Mon.
Chaturdashi ended at 17:23; nishitha is Amavasya.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 17:12 on Sun 13 Feb to 17:23 on Mon 14 Feb, so only Sunday night’s nishitha (00:46 Mon–01:40 Mon) falls within it.
