Why is Maha Shivratri on Sat 12 Feb in Ipameri?

Maha Shivratri is on Sat 12 Feb: Chaturdashi touches nishitha that night, and no other.

Trayodashi until 00:47 Sun, inside nishitha; then Chaturdashi. Chaturdashi: 00:47 Sun to 23:25 Sun.

Chaturdashi ended at 23:25; nishitha is Amavasya. Chaturdashi: 00:47 to 23:25.

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 00:47 on Sun 13 Feb to 23:25 on Sun 13 Feb, so it touches only Saturday night’s nishitha (00:04 Sun–00:49 Sun).

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.
