Why is Maha Shivratri on Mon 1 Mar in Pāthardi?

Maha Shivratri is on Mon 1 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:16 Tue–01:05 Tue. Chaturdashi: 12:40 to 14:17 Tue.

Chaturdashi ended at 14:17; nishitha is Amavasya.

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

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 12:40 on Mon 1 Mar to 14:17 on Tue 2 Mar, so only Monday night’s nishitha (00:16 Tue–01:05 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.
