Why is Dhanteras on Thu 12 Nov in Chahārbāgh?
Dhanteras is on Thu 12 Nov: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:01–19:45. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 17:08 to 19:00.
Dwadashi until 19:30, inside pradosha; then Trayodashi. Trayodashi: 19:30 to 15:59 Fri.
Trayodashi ended at 15:59; pradosha is Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 19:30 Thu to 15:59.
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 19:30 on Thu 12 Nov to 15:59 on Fri 13 Nov, so it touches only Thursday’s pradosha (17:01–19:45). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
