Why is Dhanteras on Thu 12 Nov in Simrishamn?
Dhanteras is on Thu 12 Nov: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 16:00–19:07. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 16:01 to 17:31.
Dwadashi until 17:00, inside pradosha; then Trayodashi. Trayodashi: 17:00 to 13:29 Fri.
Trayodashi ended at 13:29; pradosha is Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 17:00 Thu to 13:29.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). 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 17:00 on Thu 12 Nov to 13:29 on Fri 13 Nov, so it touches only Thursday’s pradosha (16:00–19:07). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
