Why is Dhanteras on Thu 4 Nov in Baoding?
Dhanteras is on Thu 4 Nov: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:14–19:57. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 17:46 to 19:36.
Pradosha is Dwadashi; Trayodashi begins at 21:29. Trayodashi: 21:29 to 18:27 Thu.
Trayodashi holds pradosha only until 18:27; then Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 21:29 Wed to 18:27.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). 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 21:29 on Wed 3 Nov to 18:27 on Thu 4 Nov, so it touches only Thursday’s pradosha (17:14–19:57). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
