Why is Dhanteras on Tue 17 Oct in Businga?
Dhanteras is on Tue 17 Oct: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:22–19:46. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 19:13 to 19:46.
Pradosha is Dwadashi; Trayodashi begins at 19:56. Trayodashi: 19:56 to 19:38 Tue.
Trayodashi holds pradosha only until 19:38; then Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 19:56 Mon to 19:38.
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 19:56 on Mon 16 Oct to 19:38 on Tue 17 Oct, so it touches only Tuesday’s pradosha (17:22–19:46). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
