Why is Maha Shivratri on Wed 18 Feb in Sevan?

By the Nirnayasindhu, Maha Shivratri is on Wed 18 Feb: Chaturdashi touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.

Trayodashi until 23:48, inside nishitha; then Chaturdashi. Chaturdashi: 23:48 to 00:26 Thu.

Chaturdashi holds nishitha only until 00:26 Thu; then Amavasya. Chaturdashi: 23:48 Tue to 00:26 Thu.

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

Chaturdashi touches nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Nirnayasindhu takes the later day: Wed 18 Feb, where it holds nishitha until 00:26 Thu.

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.
