Why is Dhanteras on Sat 18 Oct in Ilinge?
Dhanteras is on Sat 18 Oct: Trayodashi holds all of pradosha that evening, and no other.
Trayodashi holds all of pradosha, 18:26–20:38. Trayodashi: 08:49 to 10:22 Sun.
Trayodashi ended at 10:22; pradosha is Chaturdashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+2). 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 08:49 on Sat 18 Oct to 10:22 on Sun 19 Oct, so only Saturday’s pradosha (18:26–20:38) falls within it. No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
