Why is Maha Shivratri on Sun 1 Mar in Chahārbāgh?

Maha Shivratri is on Sun 1 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 05:21 Sun.

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:49–00:39 Mon. Chaturdashi: 05:21 to 01:51 Mon.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3:25). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 05:21 on Sun 1 Mar to 01:51 on Mon 2 Mar, so only Sunday night’s nishitha (23:49–00:39 Mon) 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.
