Why is Dhanteras on Sun 11 Nov in Progress?
Dhanteras is on Sun 11 Nov: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.

Dwadashi until 17:58, inside pradosha; then Trayodashi. Trayodashi: 17:58 to 15:03 Mon.
Trayodashi ended at 15:03; pradosha is Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 17:58 Sun to 15:03.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+10). 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 17:58 on Sun 11 Nov to 15:03 on Mon 12 Nov, so it touches only Sunday’s pradosha (17:43–20:40). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
