Why does Masik Shivratri fall on these dates?
The next one, Sat 7 Nov, in Diffa
Masik Shivratri is on Sat 7 Nov: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 06:18 Sat.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:28–00:18 Sun. Chaturdashi: 06:18 to 06:58 Sun.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 06:18 on Sat 7 Nov to 06:58 on Sun 8 Nov, so only Saturday night’s nishitha (23:28–00:18 Sun) falls within it. No text giving Masik Shivratri’s time was found; nishitha is Tithika’s convention.
The rule
Every Krishna Chaturdashi
Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta.
- Smarta
- the night whose nishitha Chaturdashi holds: Tithika’s convention, since no text gives the time.
- Vaishnava
- the Smarta day.
