Why is Dhanteras on Wed 8 Nov in Pāthardi?
Dhanteras is on Wed 8 Nov: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:53–20:25. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:17 to 20:16.
Dwadashi until 20:01, inside pradosha; then Trayodashi. Trayodashi: 20:01 to 17:35 Thu.
Trayodashi ended at 17:35; pradosha is Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 20:01 Wed to 17:35.
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 20:01 on Wed 8 Nov to 17:35 on Thu 9 Nov, so it touches only Wednesday’s pradosha (17:53–20:25). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
