Why is Maha Shivratri on Tue 12 Mar in Sevan?

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

Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 03:20 Tue. Chaturdashi: 03:20 Tue to 02:55 Wed.

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 00:44 Wed–01:33 Wed. Chaturdashi: 03:20 to 02:55 Wed.

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 03:20 on Tue 12 Mar to 02:55 on Wed 13 Mar, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (00:44 Wed–01:33 Wed) 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.
