Why is Dhanteras on Mon 18 Oct in Diffa?
Dhanteras is on Mon 18 Oct: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:48–20:15. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 19:31 to 20:15.
Pradosha is Dwadashi; Trayodashi begins at 22:58. Trayodashi: 22:58 to 19:29 Mon.
Trayodashi holds pradosha only until 19:29; then Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 22:58 Sun to 19:29.
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 22:58 on Sun 17 Oct to 19:29 on Mon 18 Oct, so it touches only Monday’s pradosha (17:48–20:15). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
