Masik Shivratri 2027 list with Nishita kaal

Masik (monthly) Shivratri, also spelt Shivaratri, is kept on the night Krishna paksha Chaturdashi is present at Nishita kaal, the midnight muhurta. Months are North Indian (purnimanta) / South Indian (amanta). Times after midnight fall in the early hours of the next calendar day.

New Delhi timings; your city may differ by a few minutes. Where a tithi straddles two days, dates may differ by a day by region or panchang.

Four Masik Shivratris share their date with a Pradosh vrat: 5 Jan, 31 Jul, 27 Oct and 25 Dec. On these days the Pradosh puja at dusk and the Shivratri puja at midnight fall on the same date.

Many devotees begin the monthly vrat on Maha Shivratri and keep it every month for a year or more. Two dates fall on a Monday, 5 Apr and 30 Aug, which Shiva devotees treat as especially auspicious.

A simple samagri list for home: a Shivling or Shiva image, a copper or brass kalash, raw milk, curd, honey, ghee and sugar. Add bilva leaves, dhatura, akshat, sandal paste, a ghee lamp and incense.

Nishita kaal is the eighth muhurta of the night, a window of about 40 to 55 minutes around midnight. In tradition, Shiva is worshipped at this hour on Shivaratri. Masik Shivratri is kept on the night Chaturdashi tithi is present during Nishita kaal.

How is Masik Shivratri different from Maha Shivratri?

Masik Shivratri comes every month on Krishna Chaturdashi. Maha Shivratri is the Chaturdashi of Phalguna (Magha in the amanta calendar), kept once a year as the great night of Shiva. In 2027 it falls on 6 Mar. The rituals are similar, but Maha Shivratri has a stricter fast and a four-prahar vigil.

Which Masik Shivratri dates in 2027 fall on a Monday?

Two Masik Shivratris fall on a Monday in 2027: 5 Apr and 30 Aug. Monday is already dedicated to Shiva in tradition, so many devotees plan a Rudrabhishek for these dates. Nishita kaal is 00:01 to 00:46 on the night of 5 Apr, and 23:59 to 00:44 on the night of 30 Aug.

Can I book a Rudrabhishek for Masik Shivratri?
