As the lunar calendar unfolds, March 17 brings forth Masik Shivratri on a Tuesday, a celestial alignment revered in Hindu traditions for Lord Shiva’s adoration. This monthly festival, falling on Krishna Chaturdashi, invites devotees to observe fasts and perform elaborate pujas, seeking the destroyer of evil’s grace.
Panchang details reveal a day rich in potential. The sun rises at 6:29 AM and sets at 6:30 PM. Trayodashi tithi concludes at 9:23 AM, ushering in Chaturdashi for Shivratri observances. Shatabhisha Nakshatra holds sway until 6:09 AM next day, then shifts to Purva Bhadrapada. Siddha Yoga wraps up by 8:15 AM, replaced by Sadhya Yoga till 6:22 AM tomorrow. Vanija Karana persists to 9:23 AM, followed by Vishti until 8:59 PM.
