Why is Dhanteras on Tue 2 Nov in Orting?
Dhanteras is on Tue 2 Nov: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:50–20:39. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:19 to 20:02.
Pradosha is Dwadashi; Trayodashi begins at 23:01.
Trayodashi holds pradosha only until 20:32; then Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 23:01 Mon to 20:32.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−7). 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 23:01 on Mon 1 Nov to 20:32 on Tue 2 Nov, so it touches only Tuesday’s pradosha (17:50–20:39). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
