Why is Maha Shivratri on Mon 8 Mar in Sevan?

Maha Shivratri is on Mon 8 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:45–00:35 Tue. Chaturdashi: 19:53 to 22:11 Tue.

Chaturdashi ended at 22:11; nishitha is Amavasya. Chaturdashi: 19:53 Mon to 22:11.

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 19:53 on Mon 8 Mar to 22:11 on Tue 9 Mar, so only Monday night’s nishitha (23:45–00:35 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.
