Why is Maha Shivratri on Mon 26 Feb in Davinópolis?

Maha Shivratri is on Mon 26 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 05:22 Mon.

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:59 Tue–01:46 Tue. Chaturdashi: 05:22 to 04:54 Tue.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC−2). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 05:22 on Mon 26 Feb to 04:54 on Tue 27 Feb, so only Monday night’s nishitha (00:59 Tue–01:46 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.
