Maha Shivaratri falls on Sunday, 15 February 2026 – the sacred “great night of Shiva” (Shivaratri = night devoted to Lord Shiva’s worship and meditation).
🔔 Main Nish*ta Kaal Puja
This is the deep midnight window when Shiva‑tattva (Shiva’s subtle presence) is said to be most powerful.
⏰ 11:56 pm to 12:44 am
✅ Ideal time for abhishek (ritual bathing of the Shiva‑linga), mantra‑japa, and silent meditation.
🌙 Four Ratri Prahar Puja Timings
Prahar = segment of the night. You can do a simple puja, offer water and bilva leaves, and chant “Om Namah Shivaya” in any or all of these:
1️⃣ First Prahar – 6:14 pm to 9:17 pm
2️⃣ Second Prahar – 9:17 pm to 12:20 am
3️⃣ Third Prahar – 12:20 am to 3:23 am
4️⃣ Fourth Prahar – 3:23 am to 6:26 am
📿 Chaturdashi Tithi
Chaturdashi = 14th lunar day, the special moon phase for Shivaratri.
🕒 Begins: 7:34 am, 15 Feb 2026
🕒 Ends: 8:04 am, 16 Feb 2026
🌅 Shivaratri Parana Time (Breaking the Fast)
Parana = proper time to close/complete your vrat (fast).
⏰ 16 February, 6:26 am to 8:04 am
✅ Break your fast after a short puja and water offering to Shiva during this window.
🙏 Use this holy night to stay as sattvic (pure and calm) as possible – chant, meditate, and keep the mind focused on Mahadev. Har Har Mahadev!
