Puja muhurat in Surat
In Surat, the Maha Shivaratri 2027 puja window runs 12:26 AM to 1:14 AM on 6 March 2027, a Saturday. That is 18 minutes later than New Delhi, because the sun rises later in Surat and the window is cut from the local sunrise.
How this timing is worked out
Sunrise in Surat that day is 6:55 AM and sunset is 6:44 PM. The muhurat window is cut from that daylight span, which is why it differs from one city to the next. The rule: Chaturdashi tithi of the Krishna paksha in purnimanta Phalguna, prevailing at nishita (midnight).
What Maha Shivaratri is
The great night of Shiva, kept with fasting and a night-long vigil. The observance is anchored at nishita - the middle of the night - which is why it is the night rather than the day that names it.
