Why is Dhanteras on Sat 19 Oct in Mapleton?
Dhanteras is on Sat 19 Oct: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 18:40–21:16. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 19:50 to 21:16.
Pradosha is Dwadashi; Trayodashi begins at 22:31. Trayodashi: 22:31 to 20:49 Sat.
Trayodashi holds pradosha only until 20:49; then Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 22:31 Fri to 20:49.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−6). 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 22:31 on Fri 18 Oct to 20:49 on Sat 19 Oct, so it touches only Saturday’s pradosha (18:40–21:16). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
