What to do
Shiva's hour here is midnight, not morning. The linga abhisheka belongs in the nishita window, a stretch of roughly forty eight minutes around local midnight, worked out from your own sunset and sunrise. That is why it shifts from town to town and has to be read off the panchang for where you are, rather than taken from a national list.
Keep ready: Your city's nishita window, and the parana time for breaking the fast.
