Why is Maha Shivratri on Wed 29 Feb in Ipameri?

Maha Shivratri is on Wed 29 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 10:31 Wed.

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:02 Thu–00:48 Thu. Chaturdashi: 10:31 to 13:00 Thu.

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 10:31 on Wed 29 Feb to 13:00 on Thu 1 Mar, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (00:02 Thu–00:48 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.
