About Maha Shivratri
Maha Shivratri, Phalguna Krishna Chaturdashi, is the great night of Lord Shiva — the night of His marriage to Parvati and of the Lingodbhava. Devotees fast, keep awake through the night and worship Shiva in each of its four prahars; the most sacred puja is at Nishita Kaal, around midnight. The fast is broken the next morning.
महाशिवरात्रि, फाल्गुन कृष्ण चतुर्दशी, भगवान शिव की महान रात्रि है — शिव-पार्वती विवाह और लिंगोद्भव की रात। भक्त व्रत रखते हैं, रात भर जागरण करते हैं और चारों प्रहर में शिव पूजा करते हैं; सबसे पवित्र पूजा निशिता काल में, मध्यरात्रि के आसपास होती है। व्रत अगली सुबह खोला जाता है।
How these times are worked out
For Sitamarhi's own coordinates; they match the panchang (Drik Panchang) — checked for 2027 onward in Delhi, Patna, Mumbai, Jaipur and Kolkata. Maha Shivratri is kept on the night Krishna Chaturdashi covers more of Nishita Kaal, the eighth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas. The night from sunset to sunrise is split into four prahars. Parana is the next morning, from sunrise until Chaturdashi ends, but not past three quarters of the day.
