Why does Masik Shivratri fall on these dates?
The next one, Sun 6 Dec, in Polatlı
Masik Shivratri is on Sun 6 Dec: Chaturdashi touches nishitha on both nights, and the earlier is taken.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:13 Mon–01:11 Mon. Chaturdashi: 23:52 to 01:43 Tue.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:14 Tue–01:12 Tue. Chaturdashi: 23:52 Sun to 01:43 Tue.
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 23:52 on Sun 6 Dec to 01:43 on Tue 8 Dec, holding as much of nishitha on both nights. The Nirnayasindhu then takes the earlier: Sun 6 Dec. 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.
