Why is Dhanteras on Wed 25 Oct in Diffa?
Dhanteras is on Wed 25 Oct: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 16:54–19:21. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:06 to 19:21.
Dwadashi until 18:00, inside pradosha; then Trayodashi. Trayodashi: 18:00 to 14:41 Thu.
Trayodashi ended at 14:41; pradosha is Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 18:00 Wed to 14:41.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC). 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 18:00 on Wed 25 Oct to 14:41 on Thu 26 Oct, so it touches only Wednesday’s pradosha (16:54–19:21). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
