Why is Dhanteras on Mon 16 Oct in Highfields?
Dhanteras is on Mon 16 Oct: Trayodashi holds all of pradosha that evening, and no other.
Pradosha is Dwadashi; Trayodashi begins at 23:47.
Trayodashi holds all of pradosha, 18:00–20:15. Trayodashi: 23:47 Sun to 20:15.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+10). 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 23:47 on Sun 15 Oct to 20:15 on Mon 16 Oct, so only Monday’s pradosha (18:00–20:15) falls within it. No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
