Why is Dhanteras on Mon 12 Nov in Thazhecode?
Dhanteras is on Mon 12 Nov: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:59–20:27. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:09 to 20:12.
Dwadashi until 18:58, inside pradosha; then Trayodashi. Trayodashi: 18:58 to 16:26 Tue.
Trayodashi ended at 16:26; pradosha is Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 18:58 Mon to 16:26.
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 18:58 on Mon 12 Nov to 16:26 on Tue 13 Nov, so it touches only Monday’s pradosha (17:59–20:27). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
