Why is Maha Shivratri on Wed 5 Mar in Sevan?

Maha Shivratri is on Wed 5 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:45 Thu–01:35 Thu. Chaturdashi: 00:01 Thu to 22:54 Thu.

Chaturdashi ended at 22:54; nishitha is Amavasya. Chaturdashi: 00:01 to 22:54.

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 00:01 on Thu 6 Mar to 22:54 on Thu 6 Mar, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (00:45 Thu–01:35 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.
