Why is Maha Shivratri on Fri 21 Feb in Ipameri?

Maha Shivratri is on Fri 21 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 08:51 Fri.

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:03 Sat–00:49 Sat. Chaturdashi: 08:51 to 10:33 Sat.

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 08:51 on Fri 21 Feb to 10:33 on Sat 22 Feb, so only Friday night’s nishitha (00:03 Sat–00:49 Sat) 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.
