Why is Dhanteras on Sat 3 Nov in Diffa?
Dhanteras is on Sat 3 Nov: Trayodashi holds all of pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:41–20:10. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:25 to 20:10.
Trayodashi holds all of pradosha, 17:41–20:10. Trayodashi: 16:28 to 13:00 Sun.
Trayodashi ended at 13:00; pradosha is Chaturdashi.
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 16:28 on Sat 3 Nov to 13:00 on Sun 4 Nov, so only Saturday’s pradosha (17:41–20:10) falls within it. No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
