Why is Dhanteras on Tue 26 Oct in Offa?
Dhanteras is on Tue 26 Oct: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 18:21–20:46. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 19:37 to 20:46.
Dwadashi until 20:34, inside pradosha; then Trayodashi. Trayodashi: 20:34 to 18:20 Wed.
Trayodashi ended at 18:20; pradosha is Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 20:34 Tue to 18:20.
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 20:34 on Tue 26 Oct to 18:20 on Wed 27 Oct, so it touches only Tuesday’s pradosha (18:21–20:46). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
