Why is Dhanteras on Sat 7 Nov in Diffa?
Dhanteras is on Sat 7 Nov: Trayodashi holds all of pradosha that evening, and no other.

Trayodashi holds all of pradosha, 15:41–18:10. Trayodashi: 08:00 to 04:42 Sun.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). 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 08:00 on Sat 7 Nov to 04:42 on Sun 8 Nov, so only Saturday’s pradosha (15:41–18:10) falls within it. No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
