Why is Maha Shivratri on Mon 3 Mar in Sevan?

Maha Shivratri is on Mon 3 Mar: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 09:07 Mon.

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:46 Tue–01:36 Tue. Chaturdashi: 09:07 to 06:40 Tue.

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 09:07 on Mon 3 Mar to 06:40 on Tue 4 Mar, so only Monday night’s nishitha (00:46 Tue–01:36 Tue) 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.
