Why is Maha Shivratri on Mon 7 Mar in Chahārbāgh?

Maha Shivratri is on Mon 7 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:48–00:38 Tue. Chaturdashi: 18:19 to 20:08 Tue.

Chaturdashi ended at 20:08; nishitha is Amavasya.

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 18:19 on Mon 7 Mar to 20:08 on Tue 8 Mar, so only Monday night’s nishitha (23:48–00:38 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.
