Why is Dhanteras on Sat 27 Oct in Diffa?
Dhanteras is on Sat 27 Oct: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:44–20:12. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:54 to 20:12.
Pradosha is Dwadashi; Trayodashi begins at 23:13.
Trayodashi holds pradosha only until 19:41; then Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 23:13 Fri to 19:41.
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 23:13 on Fri 26 Oct to 19:41 on Sat 27 Oct, so it touches only Saturday’s pradosha (17:44–20:12). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
