Why is Dhanteras on Wed 27 Oct in Devon?
Dhanteras is on Wed 27 Oct: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 18:18–20:30. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 19:47 to 20:30.
Pradosha is Dwadashi; Trayodashi begins at 21:34. Trayodashi: 21:34 to 19:20 Wed.
Trayodashi holds pradosha only until 19:20; then Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 21:34 Tue to 19:20.
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 21:34 on Tue 26 Oct to 19:20 on Wed 27 Oct, so it touches only Wednesday’s pradosha (18:18–20:30). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
