Why is Maha Shivratri on Sun 10 Mar in Sevan?

Maha Shivratri is on Sun 10 Mar: Chaturdashi touches nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 02:34 Sun. Chaturdashi: 02:34 Sun to 01:00 Mon.

Chaturdashi holds nishitha only until 01:00 Mon; then Amavasya. Chaturdashi: 02:34 to 01:00 Mon.

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 02:34 on Sun 10 Mar to 01:00 on Mon 11 Mar, so it touches only Sunday night’s nishitha (00:45 Mon–01:34 Mon).

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.
