Why is Dhanteras on Wed 9 Nov in Pāthardi?
Dhanteras is on Wed 9 Nov: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:52–20:24. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:12 to 20:12.
Pradosha is Dwadashi; Trayodashi begins at 20:52. Trayodashi: 20:52 to 18:39 Wed.
Trayodashi holds pradosha only until 18:39; then Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 20:52 Tue to 18:39.
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 20:52 on Tue 8 Nov to 18:39 on Wed 9 Nov, so it touches only Wednesday’s pradosha (17:52–20:24). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
