Why is Maha Shivratri on Fri 1 Mar in Pāthardi?

Maha Shivratri is on Fri 1 Mar: Chaturdashi touches nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 04:40 Fri.

Chaturdashi holds nishitha only until 00:55 Sat; then Amavasya. Chaturdashi: 04:40 to 00:55 Sat.

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

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 04:40 on Fri 1 Mar to 00:55 on Sat 2 Mar, so it touches only Friday night’s nishitha (00:16 Sat–01:05 Sat).

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.
