Why is Maha Shivratri on Tue 27 Feb in Sevan?

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

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:44–00:36 Wed. Chaturdashi: 22:00 to 18:18 Wed.

Chaturdashi ended at 18:18; nishitha is Amavasya.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 22:00 on Tue 27 Feb to 18:18 on Wed 28 Feb, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (23:44–00:36 Wed) 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.
