Krishna Chaturdashi prevailing at local Nishita (Hindu midnight) — the puja window is computed for this city's night.
Shiva/Skanda Purana: the night of the Krishna Chaturdashi is dear to Shiva — on this night the pillar of fire (Lingodbhava) appeared which Brahma and Vishnu could not measure; the vigil and abhishek of this night remove a year's sins; keeping the Masik Shivratri vrat for 12/14 consecutive years brings marriage, children and liberation (folk belief); the Chaturdashi is Nishita-vyapini — the night at whose middle the Chaturdashi is present is the vrat day (the list above follows this rule — sometimes it begins on the evening of Trayodashi).
The puja of the four prahars: the first prahar (evening — abhishek with milk), the second (night — curd), the third (midnight — ghee), the fourth (dawn — honey/sugar); 'Om Namah Shivaya', bel leaves and aarti in every prahar; householders should worship at least once in the Nishita Kaal (midnight ± 24 minutes — above).
Saturday, November 7, 2026 — Kartika Masik Shivratri (GMT+1).
The tithi is judged at the local moment (sunrise, moonrise or sunset) and Dublin is hours away from India in time, so the same tithi can fall on a different calendar date here.
