Why is Maha Shivratri on Fri 22 Feb in Sevan?

Maha Shivratri is on Fri 22 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 10:51 Fri.

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:47 Sat–01:39 Sat. Chaturdashi: 10:51 to 08:44 Sat.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 10:51 on Fri 22 Feb to 08:44 on Sat 23 Feb, so only Friday night’s nishitha (00:47 Sat–01:39 Sat) 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.
