Masik Shivratri
Masik Shivratriमासिक शिवरात्रि
Kartik Krishna Paksha Chaturdashi · Ashwin in amanta reckoning
Also known as Monthly Shivratri, Shiv Chaturdashi, Masa Shivaratri and Kartik Shivratri.
The monthly night of Shiva, on the fourteenth of the waning moon. Worship is done in Nishita Kaal, the middle of the night, when Shiva is held to have first appeared as the endless pillar of light whose top and bottom neither Brahma nor Vishnu could find. The Phalguna one is Maha Shivratri; the other eleven are kept in the same way, with less scale.
What devotees do
- Fast through the day.
- Abhishek of the Shivling in Nishita Kaal with milk, honey, curd, ghee and bilva.
- Recite the Mahamrityunjaya mantra or the Shiv Chalisa.
- Keep vigil through the four praharas of the night where the full vrat is kept.
Shubh Muhurat (शुभ मुहूर्त)
Abhijit is the eighth of the fifteen muhurtas between sunrise and sunset, so it is 44 minutes long today rather than a fixed 48 — it stretches and shrinks with the length of the day.
Ashubh Kaal (अशुभ काल)
We do not publish Varjyam, Dur Muhurat or Godhuli Muhurat. The rules behind them are known, but the underlying tables differ between sources by enough to move a window by the better part of an hour — and these are windows whose whole purpose is telling you not to begin something. We would rather leave them out than print a number we cannot stand behind.

Choghadiya (चौघड़िया)
The day and the night are each divided into eight parts. Amrit, Shubh and Labh are auspicious; Char is neutral; Udveg, Kaal and Rog are best avoided. It is the quickest check there is for whether the next hour and a half is a good time to begin something.
Day — sunrise 6:37 AM to sunset 5:31 PM
Night — sunset 5:31 PM to sunrise 6:38 AM
The night choghadiya belongs to Shanivaar, not to the next day: in the panchang the weekday changes at sunrise, not at midnight.
Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana (नक्षत्र)
The Moon is in Chitra at sunrise, in its 1st pada. A karana is half a tithi, which is why there are more of them in a day than anything else here.
Sun and Moon (सूर्य और चंद्र)
Day length is 10 hours 54 minutes, night 13 hours 7 minutes.
Hora (होरा)
Twenty-four planetary hours from sunrise, in the Chaldean order. The first is always ruled by the lord of the weekday — Saturn (Shani) today, which is what makes it Shanivaar. Day horas and night horas are not sixty minutes each; they are a twelfth of the actual day and a twelfth of the actual night.
Rashi, Masa and Samvat (मास)
The two masa reckonings differ through every waning fortnight, which is why a calendar from Delhi and one from Chennai can name the same day differently. Today it is Kartik in the north and Ashwin in the south.
