Why is Dhanteras on Sat 17 Oct in Pāthardi?
Dhanteras is on Sat 17 Oct: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 18:05–20:33. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 19:42 to 20:33.
Pradosha is Dwadashi; Trayodashi begins at 22:15. Trayodashi: 22:15 to 19:15 Sat.
Trayodashi holds pradosha only until 19:15; then Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 22:15 Fri to 19:15.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). 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 22:15 on Fri 16 Oct to 19:15 on Sat 17 Oct, so it touches only Saturday’s pradosha (18:05–20:33). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
