Why is Maha Shivratri on Mon 11 Feb in Pāthardi?

Maha Shivratri is on Mon 11 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 04:32 Mon.

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:18 Tue–01:08 Tue. Chaturdashi: 04:32 to 01:46 Tue.

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 04:32 on Mon 11 Feb to 01:46 on Tue 12 Feb, so only Monday night’s nishitha (00:18 Tue–01:08 Tue) 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.
