Why is Maha Shivratri on Tue 25 Feb in Olean?

Maha Shivratri is on Tue 25 Feb: Chaturdashi touches nishitha that night, and no other.

Trayodashi until 00:38 Wed, inside nishitha; then Chaturdashi. Chaturdashi: 00:38 Wed to 22:25 Wed.

Chaturdashi ended at 22:25; nishitha is Amavasya. Chaturdashi: 00:38 to 22:25.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC−5). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 00:38 on Wed 26 Feb to 22:25 on Wed 26 Feb, so it touches only Tuesday night’s nishitha (00:00 Wed–00:51 Wed).

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.
