Why is Dhanteras on Wed 10 Nov in Chibia?
Dhanteras is on Wed 10 Nov: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 18:12–20:27. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:31 to 20:27.
Pradosha is Dwadashi; Trayodashi begins at 21:30. Trayodashi: 21:30 to 20:04 Wed.
Trayodashi holds pradosha only until 20:04; then Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 21:30 Tue to 20:04.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). 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 21:30 on Tue 9 Nov to 20:04 on Wed 10 Nov, so it touches only Wednesday’s pradosha (18:12–20:27). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
