Why is Maha Shivratri on Sun 11 Mar in Sevan?

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

Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 10:13 Sun.

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:44 Mon–01:33 Mon. Chaturdashi: 10:13 to 07:50 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 10:13 on Sun 11 Mar to 07:50 on Mon 12 Mar, so only Sunday night’s nishitha (00:44 Mon–01:33 Mon) 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.
