Why is Dhanteras on Sat 9 Nov in Orting?
Dhanteras is on Sat 9 Nov: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 16:40–19:33. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 16:51 to 18:33.
Dwadashi until 16:53, inside pradosha; then Trayodashi. Trayodashi: 16:53 to 13:39 Sun.
Trayodashi ended at 13:39; pradosha is Chaturdashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−8). 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 16:53 on Sat 9 Nov to 13:39 on Sun 10 Nov, so it touches only Saturday’s pradosha (16:40–19:33). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
