Why is Maha Shivratri on Sat 28 Feb in Sevan?
By the Nirnayasindhu, Maha Shivratri is on Sat 28 Feb: Chaturdashi touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:46 Sat–01:38 Sat. Chaturdashi: 00:18 Sat to 01:40 Sun.
Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:46 Sun–01:37 Sun. Chaturdashi: 00:18 to 01:40 Sun.
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 00:18 on Sat 28 Feb to 01:40 on Sun 29 Feb, touching nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Nirnayasindhu takes the later day: Sat 28 Feb.
