The window, the reason it is that window, and an honest answer about what we will not publish.
Maha Shivratri follows Chaturdashi of Krishna Paksha in Phalguna, with a night-long jagran. The ritual window is set by the tithi and by the position of the moon relative to the lagna for your location — which is why the same festival has a slightly different puja window in Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai even though the civil date is the same.
Because of that, we do not publish city-by-city muhurat minutes. Getting a muhurat wrong is a genuinely harmful error — people plan their day, their travel and their leave around it — and we cannot verify every city against a reliable panchang. A number we cannot stand behind is worse than telling you where to look.
For the exact window in your city, check a location-specific panchang or your family’s usual almanac. What we can tell you reliably is the date, the day of the week, whether it is a multi-day observance, and where the date itself differs between regions — all of which is below.

Maha Shivratri 2026
Maha Shivratri falls on Sunday 15 February 2026, on the Chaturdashi of Krishna Paksha in Phalguna.
The jagran, or all-night vigil, is itself the offering. Devotees stay awake chanting and performing abhishek at each of the four prahars of the night, based on the belief that Shiva is especially present on this night.
Panchamrit (milk, curd, honey, ghee and sugar), then water; bel patra with the smooth side down; dhatura; white flowers; akhand rice; and bhang leaves as an offering. Bhang is offered ritually but consumption is a separate matter with its own legal status by state.
Yes. The vrat is considered open to anyone, based on the story of the hunter who gained merit through an unintentional fast and vigil. It is not restricted by caste or gender.
