Why is Dhanteras on Fri 22 Oct in Diffa?
Dhanteras is on Fri 22 Oct: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:46–20:13. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 19:11 to 20:13.
Pradosha is Dwadashi; Trayodashi begins at 21:18. Trayodashi: 21:18 to 18:58 Fri.
Trayodashi holds pradosha only until 18:58; then Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 21:18 Thu to 18:58.
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 21:18 on Thu 21 Oct to 18:58 on Fri 22 Oct, so it touches only Friday’s pradosha (17:46–20:13). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
