Jyothishi 
sir in some (most)of the calenders mahashivarathri is on 7th, whats the basis on which these festivals are decided and is there a body to decide as all govt holidays are based on this,(generally amavasy is used as an indicator)if there is somuch difference between people for small thing like that how planet position, nakshatra position,..etc..etc..is these festivals are they not based on astronomy…
As per Drik Panchanga, Chaturdashi Tithi during Krishna Paksha in month of Magha is known as Maha Shivaratri according to South Indian calendar. However according to North Indian calendar Masik (or Masa in Kannada) Shivaratri in month of Phalguna is known as Maha Shivaratri. In both calendars it is naming convention of lunar month which differs.
You are talking about differences, even a small thing like Ekadashi differs from Panchanga to Panchanga. Various people use different basis like Surya Siddhantha, Drigganita (Drik), Vakya etc as basis for their calculaton
Since this is creating confusion, I have incorporated the change in the March Panchanga.
