When midnight is shared or missed
Every dark-fortnight Caturdaśī is a Śivarātri, kept by Maha Shivratri’s tests. With midnight on both nights, pradoṣa decides; with pradoṣa on both, midnight decides; when each night has one, midnight decides. Nirṇaya-sindhu p. 340; pp. 334–337
Wednesday, 6 January
Margashirsha (amanta) / Pausha (purnimanta), Krishna ChaturdashiCaturdaśī from Tue 5 Jan, 23:10 to Thu 7 Jan, 01:44, Singapore time. Niśītha on the night of Wednesday, 6 January: 00:46 to 01:34 (early Thu 7 Jan).
In Singapore, the Caturdaśī holds midnight on both Tuesday and Wednesday nights and pradoṣa only on Wednesday, so Masik Shivratri is on Wednesday (Mādhava). Nirṇaya-sindhu p. 340; pp. 334–337
Hemādri, reported in the Nirṇaya-sindhu (p. 340), takes the day with more of the night, here Tuesday, 5 January. Nirṇaya-sindhu p. 340
Questions
Rules from the Nirṇaya-sindhu, with the page for each.
When is Masik Shivratri in 2027?
In Delhi, on Tue 5 Jan, Thu 4 Feb, Sat 6 Mar, Mon 5 Apr, Tue 4 May, Thu 3 Jun, Fri 2 Jul, Sat 31 Jul, Mon 30 Aug, Tue 28 Sep, Wed 27 Oct, Fri 26 Nov, Sat 25 Dec. The night of Saturday, 6 March, at the end of amānta Māgha, is Maha Shivratri. Nirṇaya-sindhu p. 340; pp. 334–337
What is Masik Shivratri?
The Śivarātri of every dark-fortnight Caturdaśī, the fourteenth tithi before the new moon. The Kālottara, quoted by Hemādri, gives the name Śivarātri to each month’s dark Caturdaśī, so the Nirṇaya-sindhu decides it by the same tests as Maha Shivratri. Nirṇaya-sindhu p. 340
How is the day chosen?
By Maha Shivratri’s pradoṣa and midnight tests. With midnight on both nights, pradoṣa decides; with pradoṣa on both, midnight decides; when each night has one, midnight decides. Hemādri, reported on the same page, takes the day with more of the night, the earlier when equal; his day is shown where it differs. Nirṇaya-sindhu pp. 334–337, 340
What is nishita kaal?
Niśītha is the middle of the night: two ghaṭikās around it, in Mādhava’s words, which this page takes as a fifteenth of the night centred on its midpoint. The texts that favour midnight say Śiva appeared then as the liṅga. Nirṇaya-sindhu pp. 334–335
Is it the same as Maha Shivratri?
No. Maha Shivratri is the dark Caturdaśī of Phālguna by the pūrṇimānta months, Māgha by the amānta. Masik Shivratri is the dark Caturdaśī of each of the other months, kept by the same tests. Nirṇaya-sindhu pp. 334, 340
Why is the date different in my city?
Each date is worked out for the city’s own night. The Caturdaśī begins and ends at the same moment everywhere, but whether it covers a city’s midnight or its pradoṣa depends on when night falls there, so cities far apart can keep different days.
