Full panchang for Tue 9 Mar in PāthardiMaha Shivratri Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Maha Shivratri on Tue 9 Mar in Pāthardi?
By the Nirnayasindhu, Maha Shivratri is on Tue 9 Mar: Chaturdashi touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.
Trayodashi until 00:16 Tue, inside nishitha; then Chaturdashi. Chaturdashi: 00:16 Tue to 01:57 Wed.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:15 Wed–01:03 Wed. Chaturdashi: 00:16 to 01:57 Wed.
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 00:16 on Tue 9 Mar to 01:57 on Wed 10 Mar, touching nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Nirnayasindhu takes the later day: Tue 9 Mar.
