Why is Maha Shivratri on Sat 4 Mar in Davinópolis?

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

Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 01:11 Sat. Chaturdashi: 01:11 Sat to 02:02 Sun.

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:57–00:44 Sun. Chaturdashi: 01:11 to 02:02 Sun.

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 01:11 on Sat 4 Mar to 02:02 on Sun 5 Mar, so only Saturday night’s nishitha (23:57–00:44 Sun) 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.
