Why is Maha Shivratri on Wed 15 Feb in Sevan?

By the Nirnayasindhu, Maha Shivratri is on Wed 15 Feb: Chaturdashi touches nishitha on both nights and it takes the later.

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:47 Wed–01:40 Wed. Chaturdashi: 22:50 to 01:27 Thu.

Chaturdashi holds nishitha only until 01:27 Thu; then Amavasya. Chaturdashi: 22:50 Tue to 01:27 Thu.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.

Chaturdashi touches nishitha on both nights. When it does, the Nirnayasindhu takes the later day: Wed 15 Feb, where it holds nishitha until 01:27 Thu.

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.
