Why is Maha Shivratri on Mon 13 Feb in Ipameri?

Maha Shivratri is on Mon 13 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 12:21 Mon.

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:04 Tue–00:49 Tue. Chaturdashi: 12:21 to 08:45 Tue.

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 12:21 on Mon 13 Feb to 08:45 on Tue 14 Feb, so only Monday night’s nishitha (00:04 Tue–00:49 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.
