Why is Maha Shivratri on Thu 11 Feb in Sevan?

Maha Shivratri is on Thu 11 Feb: Chaturdashi touches nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 03:42 Thu.

Chaturdashi holds nishitha only until 00:06 Fri; then Amavasya. Chaturdashi: 03:42 to 00:06 Fri.

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 03:42 on Thu 11 Feb to 00:06 on Fri 12 Feb, so it touches only Thursday night’s nishitha (23:47–00:41 Fri).

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.
