Why is Dhanteras on Wed 20 Oct in Chahārbāgh?
Dhanteras is on Wed 20 Oct: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:25–19:59. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:38 to 19:59.
Dwadashi until 18:49, inside pradosha; then Trayodashi. Trayodashi: 18:49 to 15:46 Thu.
Trayodashi ended at 15:46; pradosha is Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 18:49 Wed to 15:46.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3:30). 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 18:49 on Wed 20 Oct to 15:46 on Thu 21 Oct, so it touches only Wednesday’s pradosha (17:25–19:59). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
