Full panchang for Wed 12 Mar in IpameriMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Wed 12 Mar in Ipameri?
Maha Shivratri is on Wed 12 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 04:41 Wed.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:58–00:45 Thu. Chaturdashi: 04:41 to 00:54 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 04:41 on Wed 12 Mar to 00:54 on Thu 13 Mar, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (23:58–00:45 Thu) falls within it.
