Why is Dhanteras on Mon 5 Nov in Midleton?
Dhanteras is on Mon 5 Nov: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 16:57–19:53. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 17:17 to 18:54.
Pradosha is Dwadashi; Trayodashi begins at 19:54. Trayodashi: 19:54 to 18:17 Mon.
Trayodashi holds pradosha only until 18:17; then Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 19:54 Sun to 18:17.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC). 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 19:54 on Sun 4 Nov to 18:17 on Mon 5 Nov, so it touches only Monday’s pradosha (16:57–19:53). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
