Why is Dhanteras on Fri 13 Nov in Thazhecode?
Dhanteras is on Fri 13 Nov: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:58–20:27. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:05 to 20:08.
Pradosha is Dwadashi; Trayodashi begins at 21:30. Trayodashi: 21:30 to 17:59 Fri.
Trayodashi holds pradosha only until 17:59; then Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 21:30 Thu to 17:59.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). 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 21:30 on Thu 12 Nov to 17:59 on Fri 13 Nov, so it touches only Friday’s pradosha (17:58–20:27). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
