Why is Dhanteras on Fri 1 Nov in Chahārbāgh?
Dhanteras is on Fri 1 Nov: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:11–19:51. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 17:52 to 19:44.
Pradosha is Dwadashi; Trayodashi begins at 20:17. Trayodashi: 20:17 to 19:34 Fri.
Trayodashi holds pradosha only until 19:34; then Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 20:17 Thu to 19:34.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3:30). 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 20:17 on Thu 31 Oct to 19:34 on Fri 1 Nov, so it touches only Friday’s pradosha (17:11–19:51). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
