Why is Maha Shivratri on Wed 4 Mar in Codcod?

Maha Shivratri is on Wed 4 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:34–00:22 Thu. Chaturdashi: 23:02 to 21:02 Thu.

Chaturdashi ended at 21:02; nishitha is Amavasya. Chaturdashi: 23:02 Wed to 21:02.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 23:02 on Wed 4 Mar to 21:02 on Thu 5 Mar, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (23:34–00:22 Thu) 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.
