Why is Dhanteras on Fri 29 Oct in Pāthardi?
Dhanteras is on Fri 29 Oct: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:57–20:27. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:54 to 20:27.
Dwadashi until 19:53, inside pradosha; then Trayodashi. Trayodashi: 19:53 to 16:57 Sat.
Trayodashi ended at 16:57; pradosha is Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 19:53 Fri to 16:57.
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 19:53 on Fri 29 Oct to 16:57 on Sat 30 Oct, so it touches only Friday’s pradosha (17:57–20:27). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
