One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). 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 19:00 on Thu 12 Nov to 15:29 on Fri 13 Nov, so it touches only Thursday’s pradosha (17:38–20:25). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
