Why is Maha Shivratri on Sun 26 Feb in Ipameri?

Maha Shivratri is on Sun 26 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 04:59 Sun.

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:02 Mon–00:48 Mon. Chaturdashi: 04:59 to 01:18 Mon.

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 04:59 on Sun 26 Feb to 01:18 on Mon 27 Feb, so only Sunday night’s nishitha (00:02 Mon–00:48 Mon) 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.
