Why is Maha Shivratri on Fri 16 Feb in Pāthardi?

Maha Shivratri is on Fri 16 Feb: Chaturdashi touches nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 02:51 Fri. Chaturdashi: 02:51 Fri to 00:30 Sat.

Chaturdashi holds nishitha only until 00:30 Sat; then Amavasya. Chaturdashi: 02:51 to 00:30 Sat.

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

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 02:51 on Fri 16 Feb to 00:30 on Sat 17 Feb, so it touches only Friday night’s nishitha (00:18 Sat–01:08 Sat).

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.
