Frequently asked questions
What is Masik Shivaratri?
Masik Shivaratri is the monthly Shivaratri, kept on Krishna Paksha Chaturdashi, the fourteenth lunar day of the waning Moon and the night before Amavasya. Devotees fast during the day and worship Lord Shiva through the night.
How is the Masik Shivaratri date decided?
The vrat is kept on the night when Chaturdashi tithi prevails at Nishita Kaal, the eighth of the fifteen muhurtas of the night, which falls close to midnight. Because the rule depends on local sunset and sunrise, the date can differ by a day between cities when Chaturdashi begins or ends near midnight.
When is Maha Shivaratri in 2027?
Maha Shivaratri 2027 is on Saturday, 6 March 2027. In New Delhi the Nishita Kaal puja is from 12:07 AM to 12:56 AM on the night of 6 to 7 March.
When is Sawan Shivaratri in 2027?
Sawan Shivaratri 2027 is on Saturday, 31 July 2027, in the Purnimanta month of Shravana. In New Delhi the Nishita Kaal puja is from 12:06 AM to 12:48 AM on the night of 31 July to 1 August.
How many Masik Shivaratris are there in 2027?
There are 13 Masik Shivaratris in 2027, from 5 January to 25 December. The one in Phalguna (Purnimanta) is Maha Shivaratri.
Why are two month names shown?
North India follows the Purnimanta calendar, where the month ends on Purnima, while much of South and West India follows the Amanta calendar, where it ends on Amavasya. The same Shivaratri night carries the next month's name in Purnimanta reckoning, so both are given.
