Why is Maha Shivratri on Mon 3 Mar in Pāthardi?

Maha Shivratri is on Mon 3 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:16 Tue–01:05 Tue. Chaturdashi: 22:06 to 21:33 Tue.

Chaturdashi ended at 21:33; nishitha is Amavasya. Chaturdashi: 22:06 Mon to 21:33.

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 22:06 on Mon 3 Mar to 21:33 on Tue 4 Mar, so only Monday night’s nishitha (00:16 Tue–01:05 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.
