Why is Dhanteras on Wed 10 Nov in Carnforth?
Dhanteras is on Wed 10 Nov: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 16:19–19:21. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 16:24 to 17:57.
Pradosha is Dwadashi; Trayodashi begins at 20:30. Trayodashi: 20:30 to 19:04 Wed.
Trayodashi holds pradosha only until 19:04; then Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 20:30 Tue to 19:04.
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 20:30 on Tue 9 Nov to 19:04 on Wed 10 Nov, so it touches only Wednesday’s pradosha (16:19–19:21). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
