Why is Maha Shivratri on Wed 15 Feb in Sevan?

Maha Shivratri is on Wed 15 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 02:01 Wed. Chaturdashi: 02:01 Wed to 01:42 Thu.

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:47–00:40 Thu. Chaturdashi: 02:01 to 01:42 Thu.

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 02:01 on Wed 15 Feb to 01:42 on Thu 16 Feb, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (23:47–00:40 Thu) 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.
