Why is Maha Shivratri on Thu 11 Mar in Khmelnytskyi?

Maha Shivratri is on Thu 11 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 11:10 Thu.

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:56–00:46 Fri. Chaturdashi: 11:10 to 11:33 Fri.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+2). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 11:10 on Thu 11 Mar to 11:33 on Fri 12 Mar, so only Thursday night’s nishitha (23:56–00:46 Fri) 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.
