Why is Maha Shivratri on Thu 18 Feb in Ipameri?

Maha Shivratri is on Thu 18 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:57–00:43 Fri. Chaturdashi: 14:54 to 11:29 Fri.

Chaturdashi ended at 11:29; 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 14:54 on Thu 18 Feb to 11:29 on Fri 19 Feb, so only Thursday night’s nishitha (23:57–00:43 Fri) 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.
