Why is Maha Shivratri on Fri 7 Mar in Sevan?

Maha Shivratri is on Fri 7 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 12:33 Fri.

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:45 Sat–01:35 Sat. Chaturdashi: 12:33 to 08:54 Sat.

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 12:33 on Fri 7 Mar to 08:54 on Sat 8 Mar, so only Friday night’s nishitha (00:45 Sat–01:35 Sat) 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.
