Why is Dhanteras on Mon 24 Oct in Orting?
Dhanteras is on Mon 24 Oct: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 18:05–20:48. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:57 to 20:39.
Pradosha is Dwadashi; Trayodashi begins at 00:02 Mon.
Trayodashi holds pradosha only until 20:32; then Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 00:02 to 20:32.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−7). 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 00:02 on Mon 24 Oct to 20:32 on Mon 24 Oct, so it touches only Monday’s pradosha (18:05–20:48). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
