Why is Dhanteras on Wed 22 Oct in Davinópolis?
Dhanteras is on Wed 22 Oct: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 18:01–20:22. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 19:39 to 20:22.
Dwadashi until 18:52, inside pradosha; then Trayodashi. Trayodashi: 18:52 to 16:17 Thu.
Trayodashi ended at 16:17; pradosha is Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 18:52 Wed to 16:17.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). 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 18:52 on Wed 22 Oct to 16:17 on Thu 23 Oct, so it touches only Wednesday’s pradosha (18:01–20:22). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
