Why is Dhanteras on Sat 17 Oct in Davinópolis?
Dhanteras is on Sat 17 Oct: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 18:28–20:49. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 20:22 to 20:49.
Dwadashi until 18:52, inside pradosha; then Trayodashi. Trayodashi: 18:52 to 16:38 Sun.
Trayodashi ended at 16:38; pradosha is Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 18:52 Sat to 16:38.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Pradosha. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
Dhanteras puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 18:52 on Sat 17 Oct to 16:38 on Sun 18 Oct, so it touches only Saturday’s pradosha (18:28–20:49). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
