Why is Maha Shivratri on Wed 12 Feb in Sevan?

Maha Shivratri is on Wed 12 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 07:45 Wed.

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:46 Thu–01:40 Thu. Chaturdashi: 07:45 to 05:58 Thu.

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 07:45 on Wed 12 Feb to 05:58 on Thu 13 Feb, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (00:46 Thu–01:40 Thu) 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.
