Why is Dhanteras on Tue 17 Oct in Simrishamn?
Dhanteras is on Tue 17 Oct: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:57–20:41. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:44 to 20:15.
Pradosha is Dwadashi; Trayodashi begins at 20:56. Trayodashi: 20:56 to 20:38 Tue.
Trayodashi holds pradosha only until 20:38; then Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 20:56 Mon to 20:38.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+2). 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 20:56 on Mon 16 Oct to 20:38 on Tue 17 Oct, so it touches only Tuesday’s pradosha (17:57–20:41). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
