Why is Maha Shivratri on Sat 6 Mar?

In New Delhi

Maha Shivratri is on Sat 6 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:07 Sun–00:56 Sun. Chaturdashi: 12:04 to 13:46 Sun.

Chaturdashi ended at 13:46; nishitha is Amavasya.

One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 12:04 on Sat 6 Mar to 13:46 on Sun 7 Mar, so only Saturday night’s nishitha (00:07 Sun–00:56 Sun) falls within it.

The rule

Phalguna Krishna Chaturdashi (purnimanta) · Magha Krishna Chaturdashi (amanta)

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta.

Smarta
the night whose nishitha Chaturdashi holds; when it touches both or neither, the later (Nirnayasindhu).
Vaishnava
the Smarta day.

Each city’s date and times are worked out at its own sunrise and sunset; each city’s page draws the reason.
