Why is Maha Shivratri on Fri 8 Mar in Split?

Maha Shivratri is on Fri 8 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:39–00:29 Sat. Chaturdashi: 17:28 to 13:48 Sat.

Chaturdashi ended at 13:48; nishitha is Amavasya.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 17:28 on Fri 8 Mar to 13:48 on Sat 9 Mar, so only Friday night’s nishitha (23:39–00:29 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.
