Why is Dhanteras on Sat 26 Oct in Baoding?
Dhanteras is on Sat 26 Oct: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:25–20:04. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:23 to 20:04.
Pradosha is Dwadashi; Trayodashi begins at 21:38. Trayodashi: 21:38 to 18:16 Sat.
Trayodashi holds pradosha only until 18:16; then Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 21:38 Fri to 18:16.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). 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 21:38 on Fri 25 Oct to 18:16 on Sat 26 Oct, so it touches only Saturday’s pradosha (17:25–20:04). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
