Maha Shivaratri 2027 in Sacramento (California, USA) is on Friday 5 March 2027; in India it is on Saturday 6 March 2027, because Sacramento's local day reaches the deciding tithi on a different calendar date. The Maha Shivaratri tithi (Bahula Chaturdasi) runs from 5 March 2027 10:34 PM to 7 March 2027 12:16 AM Sacramento time. The date is fixed by the tithi at nishita (the middle muhurta of the night, around midnight), which in Sacramento on that day is 11:52 PM – 12:41 AM (6 Mar). Check of the rule: 4 March 2027: nishita 11:52 PM–12:42 AM (5 Mar), tithi covers 0%; 5 March 2027: nishita 11:52 PM–12:41 AM (6 Mar), tithi covers 100%; 6 March 2027: nishita 11:51 PM–12:41 AM (7 Mar), tithi covers 50%.
