Why is Maha Shivratri on Tue 27 Feb in Pāthardi?

Maha Shivratri is on Tue 27 Feb: Chaturdashi touches nishitha that night, and no other.

Trayodashi until 00:23 Wed, inside nishitha; then Chaturdashi. Chaturdashi: 00:23 Wed to 20:41 Wed.

Chaturdashi ended at 20:41; 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 00:23 on Wed 28 Feb to 20:41 on Wed 28 Feb, so it touches only Tuesday night’s nishitha (00:08 Wed–00:57 Wed).

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.
