Why is Dhanteras on Thu 12 Nov in Same?
Dhanteras is on Thu 12 Nov: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 18:22–20:42. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:33 to 20:41.
Dwadashi until 19:00, inside pradosha; then Trayodashi. Trayodashi: 19:00 to 15:29 Fri.
Trayodashi ended at 15:29; pradosha is Chaturdashi.
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 (18:22–20:42). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
