Full panchang for Tue 24 Feb in PāthardiMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Tue 24 Feb in Pāthardi?
Maha Shivratri is on Tue 24 Feb: Chaturdashi touches nishitha on neither night, and the later day is taken.
Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 01:36 Tue. Chaturdashi: 01:36 Tue to 22:59 Tue.
Chaturdashi ended at 22:59; nishitha is Amavasya. Chaturdashi: 01:36 to 22:59.
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 01:36 on Tue 24 Feb to 22:59 on Tue 24 Feb, between the two nights’ nishitha, touching neither. The Nirnayasindhu then takes the later day: Tue 24 Feb.
