Why is Dhanteras on Thu 23 Oct in Complexe?
Dhanteras is on Thu 23 Oct: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 18:06–20:31. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 19:32 to 20:31.
Pradosha is Dwadashi; Trayodashi begins at 21:52. Trayodashi: 21:52 to 19:17 Thu.
Trayodashi holds pradosha only until 19:17; then Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 21:52 Wed to 19:17.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC). 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 21:52 on Wed 22 Oct to 19:17 on Thu 23 Oct, so it touches only Thursday’s pradosha (18:06–20:31). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
