Full panchang for Sun 5 Mar in PāthardiMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Sun 5 Mar in Pāthardi?
Maha Shivratri is on Sun 5 Mar: Chaturdashi touches nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 02:21 Sun. Chaturdashi: 02:21 Sun to 00:19 Mon.
Chaturdashi holds nishitha only until 00:19 Mon; then Amavasya. Chaturdashi: 02:21 to 00:19 Mon.
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 02:21 on Sun 5 Mar to 00:19 on Mon 6 Mar, so it touches only Sunday night’s nishitha (00:15 Mon–01:04 Mon).
